Rounding Rush at Jungfraujoch “Top of Europe”

Estimation & Rounding Adventure Pack

High above the clouds in the Swiss Alps, elevation readings are fluctuating. Supply counts are inconsistent. Travel distances are miscalculated. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the estimation system. If explorers cannot round and estimate correctly, the mountain mission could lose its accuracy.

In Rounding Rush at Jungfraujoch “Top of Europe”, students climb aboard the Altitude Snowcat and enter a high-stakes number mission. To restore precision, explorers must estimate totals, round to tens and hundreds, and use benchmarks to make smart decisions. By choosing compatible numbers, applying mental math, determining whether answers are over or under, and checking for reasonableness, students stabilize the mountain’s data before conditions change.

This adventure blends foundational number sense with real-world problem-solving and strategic thinking.
