About Subtraction Race
Subtraction Race is a free practice game for kids who are building subtraction fluency. Each level adds a little more challenge: differences within 10 at first, then within 20, 50 and finally 100. Children answer subtraction questions to push their runner toward the finish line before time runs out.
Why it works
- Fluency through repetition: short, repeatable rounds build automatic recall of subtraction facts.
- Bite-size sessions: a level takes 1–2 minutes, perfect for car rides, breakfast, or a classroom warm-up.
- Low pressure, high feedback: wrong answers nudge the runner back without ending the game.
