Multiplication and Division

Simply lay down two cards from the deck and multiply. You can work on this alone, or you can make it a contest to see who can call out the correct answer first.

Multiplication Salute

This is a three person game. One student is the leader and the other two are "mind readers". The two players each draw a card and, without looking at it, hold it up to their foreheads so that everyone else can see it, but themselves. The leader announces the products of the two cards. Each "mind reader" must figure out which card it on their own forehead and say it aloud. When both "mind readers" have figured out their cards, a new leader is chosen and the game continues.

Multiplication Number Battle

Players split a deck of cards and simultaneously flip over their top two cards. The highest product wins all four cards. If the cards products have the same value, the cards are placed in a center pile. The next hand is played normally and the winner of the next multiplication number battle takes the center pile as well.

Modification 1: Players split a deck of cards and simultaneously flip over their top three cards. Game is then played in the same way.

Modification 2: Players split a deck of cards and simultaneously flip over their top three cards. Then split them into a 2 digit and a 1 digit number. Students must use strategy to create the largest number possible. Game is then played in the same way.

First to Five Hundred Multiplication

Deal two cards to each player. Each player turns over their two cards and determine the product. The player with the largest product keeps their two cars while the other cards are returned to the bottom of the deck and new hands are dealt again. Players total the value of the cards they have won until one player is the first to five hundred (or higher).
