I am looking for my old educational/mathematical games PC.
This game play numbers and logic using a lifter and truck.
description games:
the truck has a cargo in the form of 3 box, each box have an numbers and operate need to answer.
the lifter need to transport the box for the correct answer to the truck.
I already search on variuos games sites, dosgames[dot]com, dosgamesarchives[dot]com, etc.
Already search by picture, on youtube, and many platform games, but still not found.
Please help me, because I think this games is very good for children.

You have not supplied a lot of important details, like the platform this game ran on (DOS, Windows, Linux?), or language.
MobyGames lists some 3500 educational games:

Obviously if you tell the platform and the approximate year of release that would help narrow down the search.

While I don't have any definitive answer, I stumbled upon this topic after a search related to a game which I similarly don't remember much about, not even its name.
I have no idea if it's the same game, but I'll write some details which I recall, in case any of these helps:
- First of all, this is an old game compatible with an IBM PC from the first half of the 80s; Probably a booter game, as it was started from a 5.25" floppy disk.
- Additionally, I had another copy of the game on a PC from the first half of the 90s; I'm unsure if a patch was used for compatibility or not, but it was clearly running under DOS. I recalling it looking and sounding more-or-less exactly the same as the copy the floppy disk.
- If I'm not wrong, it used the low-intensity green/red/brown CGA graphics palette with a black-colored background. The PC Speaker was used for outputting sounds.
- I recall this game actually consisting of multiple "mini-games". In one of them, if I'm not wrong, you were controlling a vehicle like a forklift, used for moving boxes horizontally and/or vertically, in a similar manner to what's described in the original post. IIRC, the numbers on the boxes were in the range 1-5.
- I think that a title/intro sequence was showing the same vehicle.
- I might be very wrong about the following, but maybe there was an instance in the game in which tally marks made an appearance.
If I had a guess, the game's title and/or executable file would start with the letter F, but I don't recall finding much in MobyGames about such an option. So, it might be better to assume that it didn't start with any specific letter.
As another alternative, while probably not matching the game in question, I stumbled upon "Amy's First Primer", which includes a mini-game titled "Load the Truck".

Some more details from the OP would be good, but meanwhile look at these lists:
157 math educational games for DOS:
https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/ ... /m,43/dos/
only 6 games in the same category for PC booter:

As for Amy's First Primer, here is a screenshot from the mini-game mentioned:
https://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/amys ... d,1014356/
For all platforms, there are currently a list of 994 games with math eduction, so it's a long list to look at anyway.

ok, I don't know if this is the game the OP was looking for.
As for me, though, looks like I've finally found this one after many years!
Basically, it's a 1985 game titled "Young Math". Although I couldn't find it in MobyGames, it was found in Universal Videogame List: https://www.uvlist.net/gallery/?game=234798
There's also another thread in these forums in which the game was mentioned: https://www.dosgames.com/forum/viewtopi ... =2&t=16104
Now, it had been so long since the last time I played it in the 90s, that I haven't even been sure that this is the same game, initially. It's also possible that it's of a later version, given the 16-colors graphics.
CGA support still appears to be there with 4-colors graphics. I was a bit wrong with the palette; Two high-intensity CGA palettes seem to be used.
Additionally, the numbers on the boxes aren't limited to the range of 1-5.
However, this is clearly the game I was looking for. Examples are the title screen (at least the moving bulldozer), the menu with the arrow, the mini-game(s) in which you have to pick up the boxes with the numbers and the use of tally marks for counting the dropped boxes.
Thus, at least from my side, the mystery is finally resolved!
