Race around the track in this fast-paced game. Watch as your car zooms along the race track with every question answered correctly. Who will end up on the winner’s podium?

This version focuses on identifying the number that is one more than a given number, with values up to 1000. Students practise number sequencing and develop their understanding of place value while building fluency in counting forward by one.

The more correct answers they give, the faster their car moves. Wrong answers slow them down, so accuracy and confidence are key. Can your students race ahead and reach the finish line first?

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify the number that is one more than a given number up to 1000
• ✅ Strengthen place value understanding and number sequencing
• ✅ Develop fluency with counting on by one
• ✅ Build confidence in number patterns and forward counting
• ✅ Engage in interactive, fast-paced gameplay to reinforce concepts

How to Play:

1. Students are shown a number and must choose the number that is one more.
2. A correct answer moves their car forward on the race track.
3. Incorrect answers cause the car to slow down.
4. The race continues until all questions have been answered.
5. The student whose car travels the farthest by the end stands on the winner’s podium!
