Mental Stretch: Multiplication & Division Relay
mixed operations · multiplying and dividing in a chained team computation
To multiply numbers with up to 2 digits, to find quotients and remainders with up to 3-digit dividends and 1-digit divisors [4.NBT.B.5][4.NBT.B.6].
Mental Stretch: Multiplication & Division Relay is a Grade 4 team game built around a chained calculation. A die supplies the starting number, two players multiply that running value by card values, and a third player divides the resulting product by a final card. Each student depends on the previous answer, so accuracy carries forward through the entire relay.
Use it in small groups when students are reviewing multiplication, division, quotients, and remainders. Rotating player order between rounds ensures that everyone practices both operations and experiences how one error can affect the rest of a computation.
