Miguel’s wild ride

Grade level: 5th grade

In this game, students will answer questions in order to gain enough roller coaster cars to get up and down all the rolling hills of Miguel’s wild ride. The roller coaster track features a series of hills with a question at the top of each. With each correct answer students add a car to their train. Each of the hills gets progressively higher and requires a minimum number of cars that need to be in the train in order to climb it. If students don't have enough cars, their train will not make it up the hill and the game ends. If they have enough cars to climb all of the hills, they’ll reach the end of the ride.
