Khan Academy- 2 Digit x 1 Digit Multiplication
If you have the classic game Twister at home. Take a set of sticky notes, and on each one, write a multiplication fact on one half and the product on the other. Cut them in half. On the Twister spinner, there are color dots. Place the product part of the sticky fact on the spinner dots. On the Twister mat, place the other half of the fact cards on those dots. As you spin, each student will call out the product the spinner points to. Players on the mat have to try to place a hand or foot on the fact that makes that product. Active, fun, and a bit crazy, but it’s a great way to practice multiplication facts.
The dominoes should be placed in a box or bag so players can’t see them. Players take turns picking a domino out of the bag. The first player checks both sides of the domino and chooses the side that would yield the largest product when the two dot arrays are multiplied together. They put it face up in the middle. The next player picks a domino and does the same thing. The player with the largest product wins and keeps both dominoes. Play continues until the bag or box is empty. Then players count their dominoes to see who has the most. You can also play this one to try to get the lowest product. Either way is lots of fun.
This game looks like it’s going to be Rock, Paper, Scissors, but it’s not. 2 people partner up and stand facing each other. On the count of three, each player throws out a number of fingers on one hand. Both players look at the fingers, count them, and multiply those two numbers. The first with the correct answer is the winner. As players get more skilled, have them play with two hands each.
