Race around the track in this fast-paced game. Watch as your car zooms along the race track with every question answered correctly. With each turn, students compete for points and position—who will make it to the finish line first and stand on the winner’s podium?

In this version, students tackle more advanced number concepts by rounding decimal numbers to their nearest hundredth. This challenging activity is perfect for extending learners and reinforcing place value understanding through repeated practise and application in a competitive format.

Let’s Race – Rounding Decimals to the Nearest Hundredth is a great fit for upper primary maths lessons, rotations, or end-of-week challenges. Use it on the interactive whiteboard for whole-class play, or have students scan the QR code to practise independently at their own pace.
