Through playing this whole-class math game, students will show they can multiply two numbers up to and including the hundredths place using the standard algorithm.
Multiple Uses for This Math Game for Multiplying Decimals
While this bingo game has been created as a whole-class activity, it has many versatile uses in your math classroom. Here are some ideas you might like to consider:
- Bell Ringer Activity – Project one of the calling cards for your students to see as soon as they enter the classroom. On a piece of paper or in their notebooks, have students multiply the two decimals that are shown. Collect the papers or discuss the answers as a group.
- Lesson Warm-Up – Pull a random assortment of calling cards and project them on the board for the whole class to see. Have students write their answers on a sticky note along with their names for an easy formative assessment.
