board the fastest. Each round should generally take between 45 and 100 seconds. Our handy Race for the Stars Game
Directions explain several ways to play the game. Both levels of these games will be fun review for students who have
mastered the facts in each level using Rocket Math Facts before beginning to play with the set in the game. The game
boards are colorful and laminated on durable chipboard. The 24 color-coded playing pieces punch out of the game board, but
we include bags for storage.

Players race to lay the 24 problem
pieces next to the correct
answer—as quickly as possible!
You should already have an individual Race for the Stars Game, consisting of two game boards (A–K and
L–Z) and the assorted problem pieces that are color coded to go with their board. Make sure you have a baggie
for each set of pieces. This kit, along with your game, will enable you to set up a classroom center at which
students will use the
Race for the Stars Game to practice the facts, and race themselves to better their best
times.
Setting up the center. You have a sheet of Avery #8195 labels (2/3″ x 1-3/4″) for names. You can find a
blank template in Word or Avery and then you can type student names onto the template and then print onto the
sheet of labels for nice name tags. Note: You’ll need to do the names twice—that’s OK (there are 60 labels)—so
you can have the name for both the A–K board and the L–Z board. Put the labels onto the poster. Pin the poster
up at the back of the center, either on a wall, or on a tri-fold display board. The games, the stickers, the pen and
the stopwatch sit on the table.
Students should work as pairs. The best way is to have students work in pairs at this center—one as
timer/checker and the other as the player. They will find this more enjoyable and the times posted on the poster
will be accurate.
Model how to use the center. Have the class watch you as you partner with a student to use the center.
Do this with two or three students for two or three days to model the correct way to do the center.
1
)
Checker mixes up the pieces for the game board going to be played. One way is to put the problem
pieces into the large baggie and shake them up.
2
)
Checker pulls the mixed up the pieces out, stacks them face up and turned the right way and puts them
in the hand of the player.
3
)
When checker is ready, the checker whispers, “Go” and the starts the stopwatch.
4
)
The player puts pieces down next to their answers until all the answers have problems next to them and
holds up his/her hands—to signal the checker to stop the stopwatch.
5
)
The player and the checker double check to make sure everything is right.
6
)
If any are wrong they have to be fixed, but the time does not count—so it’s an automatic do-over.
7
)
If they are all correctly placed, the player and the checker look to see whether this “try” is faster than the
player’s previous best.
a. If it is faster, they record the new record time in the next box (going right to left) AND put a star
sticker over the previous best score. The score showing is now the previous best.
b. If it is not faster, the player may try again, but only after giving his/her partner a turn to beat their
best time!
After the center is running: be sure to recognize and praise students who beat their previous best scores
and who have a star showing as a result. Do NOT compare students to each other. Just praise them for trying
again and getting faster. Make sure you show how impressed you are by students who are getting better and
beating their previous best time! The more stars the better!
