FAQ
How is this different from just using a worksheet or math app?
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.
Can my child play this independently or does it require adult supervision?
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.
My child struggles with math. Is this game still a good fit?
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.
Is this game too easy for a 2nd grader who’s already strong in math?
No. Rocket Race supports fluency and critical thinking. Even students who are strong in math benefit from the repetition and strategic problem solving that the game provides.
Are the game pieces safe and non-toxic?
Yes. All game components are made from food-grade, non-toxic materials that are safe for children.
Can this be used in math centers or small groups?
Yes. Rocket Race is perfect for math centers or small group instruction. It is no-prep and ready to play, making it easy for teachers to implement. The built-in differentiation allows students to work at their own level during the same session.
Can I use this with my intervention group or special education students?
Yes. Rocket Race works well in intervention and special education settings. It includes visual supports, multiple-choice answers in a field of three, and scaffolded learning that aligns with best practices in special education. The hands-on format makes it accessible and engaging for a wide range of learners.
Can I wash the squishies?
Yes. The squishies included in Rocket Race can be gently cleaned using warm water and mild soap. Be sure to let them air dry completely before using again.
