Multiplication Showdown: Over or Under 40

Multiplication Showdown: Over or Under 40 is a Grades 3–4 partner game that combines multiplication facts with benchmark reasoning. Each round reveals two cards, students find the product, and the cards go to either the Over 40 player or the Under 40 player depending on the result. Products equal to 40 create a tie, making 40 a constant reference point throughout the game.

Use it when students are developing multiplication fluency and number sense at the same time. Ask students to predict whether a product will be over or under 40 before calculating exactly.
