 Acacia, Everett, and Elyse

As you may be able to tell from this picture, to play this game, you need 3 people.

In this group, Everett is the 'caller.'

Acacia and Elyse each draw a card, without looking at it, and put it up on their forehead.  You can't see your own card.  The caller just calls out the product (answer to a multiplication problem) of the two numbers.  The girls try to guess what their number is by looking at their opponents number.

 I think this is Kyle, Nathan, and Rhea.

Stephanie and Mr. P

 Jaden

 Elyse, Acacia, and Everett

As an example, if Elyse has a 7 on her card and Acacia had a 9, Everett would simply say, "63."  Elyse would look at Acacia's card and think, "9 times what is 63?"  She'd say 7 and that's her card.

The person who first says their own card gets to keep the two cards.

When they've gone through the deck, everyone puts their cards back together, shuffle them, and start again.  It's not too competitive...and knowing your multiplication facts is key!

Jayden and Stephanie

Even Mr. P was practicing his multiplication facts!

(Actually, we only had 26 students at the time...and we needed 27 for groups of 3!)

Definitely this is a fun way to practice our multiplication facts!
