Domino War

Grab some dominoes and turn them all over.

Split them into two even piles.

Line them up in rows facing each other.

Together, call out, “I declare war!” and flip over the domino at the front of each pile.

Each player must say their math sentence fully:

“Five times zero equals zero.”

“Five times five equals twenty-five.”

The player with the higher product takes both dominoes and moves them to the back of their row.

When matching dominoes are flipped over, players can choose double- or triple-war, winner taking all.

The game ends when one player has acquired all the dominoes (or when it’s time for the next subject😎).

Fact Family Triangles

Use this fun game to help children practice multiplication/division fact families.

Roll one or two dice each and enter them in the bottom corners of the triangle. Multiply them together to find the top corner of the triangle. Reverse the equation to create division sentences.

Use the back side to grow one of the animal families.

Rock, Paper, Scissors, Multiply!

Each student pound a fist into an open hand three times while calling out, “Rock, Paper, Scissors…”

When they say, “Multiply!” each one holds out between 1 and 10 fingers.

Each student’s number gets multiplied by the other.

The first to call out the multiplication answer wins!
