Model Mission at Christ the Redeemer

Problem Solving & Modeling Adventure Pack

High above Rio de Janeiro, communication signals are crossing. Rescue routes are miscalculated. Supply counts are incomplete. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the problem-solving system. If explorers cannot organize information and model solutions clearly, the ridge rescue mission could stall.

In Model Mission at Christ the Redeemer, students ride the Ridge Rescue Funicular and enter a high-stakes math mission. To restore clarity, explorers must understand each problem carefully, create a plan, and model solutions using drawings and equations. By using strategies like guess and check, working backwards, solving multi-step challenges, explaining their thinking, and checking answers for accuracy, students bring logic and structure back to the rescue operation.

This adventure blends strategic reasoning, mathematical modeling, and clear communication into one powerful mission.
