The first person on the Moon, the first person to swim the English Channel, the first person to Mars... we like to get there first!
In this series of challenges, you have to figure out which plane is the fastest and will cross the finish line first. Our planes go up against each other in a series of fictional races: a 100 mile dash, a transcontinental race, a transatlantic flight, and an around the world contest!
Challenge One uses pattern skills whiles Challenges Two, Three and Four use division to help you solve the challenge.
Can you figure out which plane will reign supreme and get there first?
Get ready...
Get set...
