Multiplication War

Multiplication War

  1. Use a regular deck of cards and divide them up evenly among two players (like war). (but you could play with more players, it would be more challenging)
  2. Players both flip a card overĀ at the same time and multiple the numbers together.
  3. The first player to say the product first gets both cards (wins that round).
  4. The player with the most cards at the end wins.

Collaborate with us to make this game even better. If you have used this math game before please comment below letting everyone know how it went and any recommendations or adaptations you would do or make to the game to help others play the game more effectively.

Some Questions to get the collaborating going:

  • What age group is this best for or how could it be adapted for a different age?
  • Could you help make it even more clear (so a child/student could understand it)?
  • How can it be adapted to teach a different math skill?

Please comment and add anything to this post that you think would benefit others.
