Race Car Rally is a 3-part center or small group activity, although it can also be used as a whole group lesson if desired. It is a great alternative to traditional worksheets or textbook pages. Race Car Rally includes an easy to understand directions card that enables children to work independently by ordering the numbers on the race cars from least to greatest and from greatest to least. It also incorporates a hands-on task to provide additional practice in ordering numbers. Please see the complete activity as a FREE preview download.
