Multiplying Patterns

multiplication · multiplying two 1-digit numbers and locating products on a grid

To multiply two 1-digit numbers [3.OA.C.7].

Multiplying Patterns is a Grade 3 multiplication game that combines dice facts with a five-in-a-row board goal. Players roll two dice, multiply the values, and mark one matching product on their individual game card. The first player to create five adjacent marked squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins, so students balance fact fluency with board awareness.

Use it in a small group when students are working on basic multiplication facts. Since the same product can appear in more than one location, students can choose strategically where to mark after finding the correct answer.
