1. How to Play Multiplication Bingo

Bingo Multiplication can be played in the classroom or at home. You can start in a very simple way. Once the bingo cards have been downloaded and printed, you can consider laminating them so you can use them again and again, or use them only once if you prefer. You can also use them multiple times using beans or pebbles instead of marking off the numbers.

  • Each player is given a bingo card with random numbers.
  • Decide who the multiplication bingo caller will be. The caller is responsible for calling the bingo questions and is not a player in the game. The person most likely to be the caller is the teacher or the parent.
  • The caller must remind everyone that the central space of the cards, the one marked with a star is free, and everyone should mark it.
  • The caller chooses a list of prepared multiplication operations that replaces the number cage in the traditional game.

  • The multiplication bingo caller reads one operation at a time and checks it off from the Bingo caller card. Then the caller allows players to mark one of the numbers on the card if the answer matches. For example, if the called operation is "4 x 4" then players could mark the number 16 in their tables. The same number can be marked if the called operation is "2 x 8".
  • If the answer of the called operation does not match one of the options on the cards, the player will not mark any number on the card.
  • The game continues until someone has marks along a row of your card, along a column of your card, or along a diagonal.

  • The first player to score one of these patterns stands up and shouts "BINGO!"
  • After a player has declared himself the winner, the caller checks the BINGO card to make sure that the player has actually marked the answers that respond to the operations that were called. If all the answers are correct, there will be congratulations.
  • If you want to have more than one winner, the game continues. This is a way to have multiple winners. While the first winner waits for the next game, the others continue to play.
  • Many teachers and parents realize the potential of playing bingo to help their children see that math is fun and interesting. Some schools have already begun math clubs competing against other schools.
  • So if you're looking for fun math activities for kids, you'll see that in a bingo game with math is a good and very inexpensive way to make kids' minds work with math.
