Students correctly answer questions to reach the top of the mountain. How far will they make it up the mountain? As they progress higher up the mountain, the scenery will change. At the end, a polaroid is taken of how far they made it up the mountain with a score. This a cooperative game where if there is more than one player, they must work together to answer the questions correctly to make it to the top of the mountain as a team.

In this interactive digital game, students solve problems related to converting and comparing 12-hour and 24-hour time systems.
They will be presented with a variety of time questions that require them to accurately interpret, convert and compare times across both formats.
Each correct answer helps them climb higher up the mountain as they work together towards reaching the summit.
The cooperative format encourages persistence and teamwork while building fluency with time conversions.

How high will your students climb today?
