DINO ARRAY DASH

multiplication · multiplication arrays, equal groups, and word problems

Race your dinosaur to the Great Nest by building arrays and discovering the power of equal groups.

DINO ARRAY DASH is a Grade 3 multiplication game that connects facts, arrays, and equal groups in a race to the Great Nest. Two dice determine the rows and columns, then students build or draw the array, state the multiplication sentence, and find the product before moving. The repeated link between model and fact keeps multiplication grounded in a visual representation.

Use it for partner work or a small-group station when students are developing multiplication meaning alongside fluency. Ask students to describe how switching rows and columns affects the array and product. Generate teacher-ready lesson support for DINO ARRAY DASH with a free Find a Math Game account.
