Multiplication Games For Learning

By:


Multiplication and times tables are sharpened with flash cards, which is an excellent tool to use.
A great place to start is with the familiar game of Bingo, where correct answers to multiplication flash cards heat up the competition and earn prizes.
Begin with a variety of Bingo cards from any standard Bingo game and create enough cards for everyone playing.
Keep the Bingo card numbers for reference and create flash cards that have corresponding multiplication problems, for example: 4, 81, and 0 are the products of 2x2, 9x9, and 12x0.
The first student who successfully answers for a row of numbers across, down, or diagonally wins.
Another fun, familiar and competitive multiplication game to play is Uno, but first the rules are changed just a bit.
In regular Uno, like colors and numbers are discarded during play until the winner is left with only one card in hand.
Factors and whole number multiples become the new rule for discarding cards according to the last card that was put down.
If supplies are short, a great game for multiplication table learning requires only group participation and voice.
Buzz is played with a certain multiplication group in mind, such as five's or four's.
This game starts with the students sitting in a circle and picking a leader, who will then choose a number from two to nine.
The leader begins the count from one and then the group joins in one at a time around the circle, counting in sequential order.
Each player continues counting until a multiple of the chosen number is reached, then instead of saying the next number the student says the word buzz.
If a player says buzz when the number is not a multiple, or if the player says the multiple number instead of buzz then the player is out.
When one player is left, the winner of the multiplication game of Buzz is determined and a new round can begin.
An average deck of playing cards become another multiplication flash card learning opportunity with the game Flip Up.
The joker and face cards are removed and two students are dealt an equal amount of cards, with which they flip over the top card from their pile.
Once the cards are flipped over, the round is won when a player calls out the correct multiplication of the two cards.
Recess and math class meet up when multiplication activities are fun and engaging.
