OFF THE GRID
multiplication · multiplying three or more numbers
To multiply 3 or more numbers – up to 2 digits each [5.NBT.B.5].
OFF THE GRID is a Grade 5 multiplication game that asks students to multiply three or more card values in one turn. Players create a face-down grid, roll to determine how many cards to flip, and calculate the product of all revealed values. Correct products earn points based on the number of cards used, so larger multi-factor calculations carry greater reward.
Use it in a small group when students need practice organizing multiplication with several factors. The grid introduces uncertainty while the varying number of flipped cards changes the complexity from turn to turn.
