Decade Dash Multiplication

Decade Dash Multiplication is a Grades 3–5 card game that blends multiplication fact fluency with factor-pair thinking. A decade card sets a target range, and players search their hands for two factors whose product lands inside that decade. Instead of recalling facts in isolation, students use product size and known factor relationships to decide which cards can work.

This small-group game is useful for multiplication review when you want speed supported by reasoning. Ask students how they narrowed their choices before calculating every possible pair.
