One of the most popular posts on my blog has been this one about Spiral Multiplication. I taught my 3rd graders how to play last year, and I thought I could modify it and make it work for my 1st and 2nd graders this year as well. The best part is… all you need is the directions, a deck of cards without the Jacks, Kings, and Queens, and something to use as game pieces. Feel free to grab the direction cards I made for my kids by clicking here. I kept the multiplication version in the file that I used last year and also added an addition version. For the addition version, I’d suggest possibly using two 1-6 dice or one 7-12 die to make it more challenging.
Enjoy!
