mixed operations · multiplying by 2-digit numbers and dividing 3-digit by 2-digit numbers

To multiply by 2-digits number, to divide 3-digit by 2-digit numbers [5.NBT.B.5][5.NBT.B.6].

TALLEST ICE CREAM is a Grade 5 mixed-operations game that combines multi-digit multiplication and division. Players draw three ice-cream scoops and stack them; an even bottom scoop calls for multiplying all three values, while an odd bottom scoop requires multiplying the top two first and then dividing by the bottom value. Correct work earns scoops for the player’s cone.

Use it for partner or small-group review when students are practicing multiplication by two-digit numbers and division of three-digit values by two-digit divisors. Because partial credit can earn two scoops for a correct first step, the game also rewards showing work clearly.
