Integer Race: an integer racing game
Add, subtract and multiply integers, or pick the greater number, to speed up your car. A free integer race game for any device. Grades 6–7.
🧒 Kids: Tap the right answer to make your car zoom! Beat the 3 computer cars to the 🏁 flag.
How to play
- Choose the questions (add and subtract, multiply, which is greater, or a mix) and a speed: Easy, Medium or Hard.
- Press Start the race. A question appears under the track with two or three answers to choose from.
- Tap the right answer. Every right answer moves your car forward.
- A wrong answer stalls your engine for a moment and shows the right answer.
- 15 right answers reach the flag. Beat the three computer cars to win!
What your child practices
The integer rules, at speed. Children add and subtract integers (7.NS.A.1), multiply them with the sign rules (7.NS.A.2) and compare integers on the number line (6.NS.C.7). The wrong choices are the classic mistakes, such as the right size with the wrong sign. The results screen lists every missed question with its answer.
Which setting to choose
| Setting | Example | Good for | Learn it first |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add and subtract | −7 − (−3) = ? | Grade 7 | adding integers, subtracting integers |
| Multiply | (−6) × 4 = ? | Grade 7 | multiplying integers |
| Which is greater? | −12 or −5? | Grade 6 | comparing integers |
| Mix of all three | any of the above | Grades 6–7 | integer rules |
Grade 6 children should start with “Which is greater?”, because adding and multiplying negatives is a grade 7 skill. For grade 7, start with add and subtract, and say the sign rule before tapping.
Once your child can finish the mixed race on Medium without stalling, the integer rules are secure. Check with the integers quiz.
Tips for parents
- Start on Easy. Move up a speed when your child wins twice in a row.
- If the wrong sign causes stalls, ask “will the answer be positive or negative?” before the size.
- For “Which is greater?”, picture the number line: further right wins.
- Your best time for each setting is saved on this device. Racing your own best is the real goal.
- Three races a day, about 5 minutes, is plenty.
In the classroom
Put it on the projector and let children call out the answer as a class. Or have them race on tablets with the same settings and compare finishing times. No logins, and no data leaves the device.
