Number Train is an interactive math practice game designed for classroom use, centers, and intervention groups. Students strengthen counting and number-sequence fluency by filling missing numbers on train cars, with immediate feedback and visual progress support. Teachers can quickly adjust difficulty by selecting counting range, sequence range, step size, and answer-bank type (with or without distractors) to target specific skill levels.
