Baseball Multiplication
Materials
• Baseball Multiplication Game
Mat
• 2, 6-sided dice
• 4 pennies
Players: 2 teams of one or more players
Grade 3 Practiced Skill:
Operations & Computation: Automatic recall of 0,1,2,5,10 multiplication facts; strategies to
compute all other facts.
Object of game: Rules are similar to baseball. The team with the most runs after 3 innings wins
when the game is over.
Directions:
1. Members of one team take turns “pitching” by rolling the two dice to get two factors.
2. Members of the “batting” team take turns multiplying the factors and saying the product.
3. Members of the “pitching” team check the product (calculator or Multiplication/Division
Table).
4. An incorrect answer is a strike, and another pitch is thrown. Three strikes make an out.
5. If the answer is correct, the batter checks the Scoring Chart on the game mat and moves a
penny to the base shown for that product.
6. Runners already on bases are moved ahead of the batter by the same number of bases.
7. A run is scored every time a runner crosses home plate.
8. Use the Runs and Outs Tally on the game mat to keep tally of runs scored and outs made
for each inning.
9. At the end of each inning record the number of runs on the Scoreboard.
Advanced Version: play with a 12-sided die
1. Members of one team take turns “pitching” by rolling the die twice to get two factors.
2. Members of the “batting” team take turns multiplying the two factors and giving the
product.
3. When the batter gives the correct product, check the Scoring Chart on the game mat.
4. The rest of the game is the same as a regular game of Baseball Multiplication
5. Can pretend that 11 or 12 on the 12-sided die is a 10 to make it a little easier
