Rocket Race

Yes! Rocket Race includes three differentiated card packs, each targeting specific skills within number sense and place value. Within each card pack, there are two skill levels:

Green-outlined cards = Beginner level

Blue-outlined cards = Advanced level

This allows students to play at their own level, even during the same game, making it perfect for mixed-ability groups.

Rocket Race offers gamified and multisensory learning, which research shows is far more engaging and effective than traditional worksheets or apps. Students are actively involved as they roll dice, move pieces, solve problems, and celebrate wins. This approach makes math both memorable and meaningful. It also helps build fluency through repetition in a fun and motivating way.

Yes, children can play this independently. We recommend having an adult introduce the rules at first, but once they understand how to play, students can enjoy the game on their own. Solo play is also possible, as students can challenge themselves to reach space 100 to win the game.

Yes. Rocket Race is ideal for students who need extra support in math. It focuses on essential foundational skills such as:

-Counting and one-to-one correspondence

-Understanding place value and base ten

-Comparing numbers and quantities

-Using symbols to compare values

-Writing numbers in expanded form based on visual models

The game breaks complex concepts into fun, manageable pieces and helps students build confidence through hands-on practice.
