This activity is a fast-paced group game designed to reinforce multiplication facts. Typically, each participant receives a card with two statements: “I have…” followed by a product, and “Who has…” followed by a multiplication problem. For example, a card might read, “I have 12. Who has 3 x 5?” The game begins with a designated starting card, and continues as players listen for their problem to be called. The player with the corresponding product then reads their card aloud, creating a chain reaction until the game loops back to the starting card.
This engaging approach offers several advantages for learning multiplication. It promotes active listening, quick recall, and reinforces the relationship between factors and products. The game’s competitive and collaborative nature can increase motivation and create a dynamic learning environment. Furthermore, the structure of the game encourages repeated exposure to multiplication facts, which aids in memorization and fluency. This method, while not new, has stood the test of time as an effective pedagogical tool for elementary mathematics education.
