Description
Multiplying Multi-Digit Numbers
This fall into multiplication activity gives students a cozy autumn reason to practice multi-digit multiplication. Every Pumpkin Card shows a two-digit or three-digit number times a one-digit number, or a two-digit number times a two-digit number. Students break the numbers apart by place value, multiply each part and add the partial products, which builds a deep understanding of how multiplication really works.
How to Use the Fall Multiplication Game
Print the 12 Pumpkin Cards and the 12 Leaf Cards and cut them apart. Lay the Leaf Cards face up. Students pick a pumpkin, solve the problem with an area model or an equation on the Recording Sheet, and then find the leaf that shows the same product. Every product is different, so each pumpkin matches exactly one leaf and students can tell right away when an answer needs another look. This fall into multiplication activity works well in a math center, with partners or as a seasonal review, and it makes a strong 4th grade arrays activity that also gives 5th grade students helpful practice. A practice page with three area models shows each student’s thinking step by step.

- How to Use page with steps

Why This Activity Helps Kids
