MULTIPLICATION DRAW


Basic Game:

Materials:
  • 1 Multiplication Draw Record Sheet (Game Master 20)
  • 1 Everything Math Deck, 4 cards each of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 (or an equivalent set of number cards)
  • calculators (optional)
Number of Players:

Two (2) or Three (3)

Directions:

A player shuffles the cards and places the deck number-side down on the playing surface.

GRADE 2 Game:
  1. Each player, on his or her section of the Record Sheet, records 2 as one of the factors for each draw in Round 1;
  2. 5 as one of the factors for each draw in Round 2; and
  3. 10 as one of the factors for each draw in Round 3.
  4. Than at each turn, a player draws a card from the deck in order to generate a missing factor, records the number drawn on his or her part of the Record Sheet, and writes the product.

    For example, if in Round 1 a player draws a 3, the player solves the fact 2 x 3 or 3 x 2.
GRADE 3 Game:
At each turn, a player draws two cards from the deck in order to generate two facts, and then records both the factors and their product on his or her part of the Record Sheet.

For example, if in Round 1 a player draws a 3 and a 4, then that player records the fact 4 x 3 = 12 or 3 x 4 = 12.

After 5 turns, all players find the sums of their five products.  Players may use calculators.  The player with the highest sum wins the round.

Game Variations:

Grade 2: 

Make one of the factors a number other than 2, 5, or 10.
Draw 2 cards at each turn in order to generate both factors.

Grade 3: 

Include sets of 4 cards for numbers other than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10.
