Introduction
(10 minutes)- Have students work in partners to practice multiplication facts.
- Give each pair four dice or a pack of playing cards.
- Have each student put down two cards or roll two dice. Put the digits together to create a two-digit number, and have partners multiply their two numbers together.
- The first partner to solve the problem wins a point.
- Example: Tommy puts down an 7 and a 2. Bob puts down a 2 and a 3. The math problem is 72 x 23. Whoever solves it first wins a point.
