1 Materials: Deck of digit cards or regular playing cards The object of the game is to collect the most cards. 1. Shuffle and deal out all the cards. Each player keeps their cards in a stack, face down. 2. Both players turn over two cards. Each player multiplies the two factors from the cards they turned over. The player with the greatest product keeps all the cards. 3. If the products are the same, there is a STANDOFF. Both players turn over two more cards, and multiply the factors. They continue this until the products are different. The player with the greatest product keeps all the cards from the STANDOFF round. 4. Game ends when all cards have been used. The player with the greatest number of cards is the winner.

2 Materials: Dice, paper, pencil The object of the game is to represent multiplication facts, write multiplication equations, and get the highest score. 1. On your turn, roll the dice and announce the number. Draw that number of circles. 2. Roll the dice again and announce the number. Draw that number of dots in each of the circles. 3. Write a multiplication equation to match your drawing. 4. Your score for that round is the total number of dots (the product). 5. Play continues for 5 rounds. 6. The player with the highest total scores from all 5 rounds is the winner.

3 Materials: 4 dice (2 of one color, 2 of another color), Counters The object of the game is to collect the most counters by correctly answering multiplication facts. 1. Each player rolls two dice of the same color. 2. Both players mentally add the numbers of the same-color dice together, and then multiply the sums of both sets of dice. For example: Player 1 rolls a 3 and a 6, which adds to 9. Player 2 rolls a 2 and a 4, which adds to 6. The product of 9 and 6 is The first player to say the correct product collects one counter. 4. In the event of a tie, both players receive one counter. 5. Players must give back a counter for any wrong answer (even if it is said after the opponent gives the correct answer). 6. Play continues until time is up. Player with the most counters wins.

4 Materials: Deck of digit cards or regular playing cards Ace thru 9 (Ace = 1) The object of the game is to win cards by having a product close to the goal number. 1. Shuffle and deal out all the cards. Each player keeps their cards in a stack, face down. 2. On your turn, turn over two cards to make a two-digit goal number. 3. Both players then turn over two cards from their stacks and multiply the two numbers from the cards they turned over. The player with the product closest to the two-digit goal number collects all six cards from that round. 4. Game ends when all cards have been used. The player with the greatest number of cards is the winner.

5 Materials: Deck of digit cards or regular playing cards Ace thru 9 (Ace = 1) Coin Note: Cards may be selected to match a specific strategy or set of factors, if desired. The object of the game is to score 20 points by correctly answering multiplication facts. 1. Shuffle and deal out all the cards. Each player keeps their cards in a stack, face down. 2. Both players turn over two cards. Each player multiplies the two factors from the cards they turned over. 3. One player flips a coin to determine who wins the point. Heads the higher product wins the point Tails the lower product wins the point. 4. Play continues until one player scores 20 points.

6 Materials: Shut the Factor Box cards; paper, pencil The object of the game is to use as many factors as possible. 1. Shuffle the product cards and place them face down in a stack. Each player writes the numbers 1-9 on paper. 2. On your turn, draw a product card from the stack. Cross out any two factors that make that product. (For example, if you draw 42, you can cross out 6 and 7) Continue your turn until you cannot cross off at least one factor. 3. When both players have had a turn, the player with the fewest factors remaining is the winner of that round. 4. Play continues for 5 rounds.

7 Materials: Deck of digit cards or regular playing cards Ace thru 9 (Ace = 1) The object of the game is to solve multiplication mystery sentences. 1. Place all of the cards face down in a stack. 2. Player One draws two cards and looks at the cards without showing them to the other player. Place one card face up and one card face down and say the product of the two cards. 4 X = Player Two says the hidden factor and keeps both cards if correct. 4. Players alternate turns and play until all cards are used. 5. The player with the most cards wins.
