About this activity

Missing Number is a number-sequencing game for children ages 4–5. Kids see a three-number sequence with one gap, and each round can start at a different number rather than always at 1. They choose the missing number from five options and drag it into place, practicing what comes before and after numbers up to 10.

Tips For Parents

Read the two visible numbers out loud together before your child picks, so they can figure out what belongs in between.
