How to Play Inching Along™

1. Turn over the top card on the deck.
2. Follow the directions on the card. Use the ruler.

Winning the Game

Here is an example.

The card drawn says: Go Ahead D+E.

Measure line E. It is 9 inches.

Add the line lengths: 7+9=16

Move ahead 16 spaces on the board.

Your turn is over.

Grade-level Game Play Options

Kindergarten-only Game Play

There are 10 red cards in the deck that do not require addition or subtraction. Use only those 10 cards if kindergarteners are playing. Instead of reading the words, players can look at the arrows on the cards to know if they should move their pieces forward or backward. This is a great way for kindergarteners to practice both measuring and counting to 75.

Addition-only Game Play

If students have only learned addition, you can remove the subtraction cards from the deck.

Advanced Game Play

There are 3 blue cards in the deck that require multiplication.

If your students have not yet learned multiplication, remove those cards and leave them in the game box.
