Multiplication and Division Bingo
Multiplication and Division Bingo is intended for ages nine years and up and suitable for 3 to 36 players. This is a twist on the traditional game of Bingo. Each player has at least one card to keep track of. A "caller" shouts out multiplication problems and students attempt to solve them in their heads. If they think they've come up with the correct answer, they use a marker to cover the reflective answer space. The first player to complete an entire row of answers wins. Bingo cards are double-sided, so teachers can flip the cards over and practice division skills with students.
