This product is an exciting multiplication twist on the "Rock, Paper, Scissors" hand game. It is aligned with Common Core Standards for 3rd grade and covers a variety of single-digit multiplication facts within 100. There are 10 pages with a total of 42 playing cards. This game works wonderfully as a partner activity, math tub, math center or math station. It works well as a tutoring or enrichment activity too! I also like to use it during math small group or guided lessons by making multiple copies of the playing cards and partnering up my students for play. This is a fun way to practice multiplication fact fluency and is a favorite with my class!
Directions:
Deal out all cards into two piles face down (one pile for each player). Both players draw a card from their pile. Each player must read the number sentence aloud and solve it correctly. Once answers have been given, players lay their cards down to see who has won the round. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If a WILD card is drawn, the player may choose rock, paper, or scissors for that round. If it is a tie, both cards are returned to the middle of each player's stack. The winner of the round sets both cards into a separate pile of his/her winnings. Play continues until all cards are gone. The player with the greater number of cards in his/her winnings pile at the end of the game is the overall winner.
I was cutting these out of lamination film today, and just that piqued the kids' interest! They asked me to explain the game and were so excited to start! Very cute and educational!!

Hi Mary,
I downloaded the Rock, Paper, Scissors Multiplication game, but I cannot save it. It will only open as a preview. I am not sure what I need to do to save it?
Thank you,
Amy
Hi there! If you are able to download it, then it should already be saved on your computer. Maybe check your downloads folder? Or your desktop? (wherever your files go when you download them) You should be able to move the files and rename them from there. You can also contact customer support (at the bottom of the tpt page) and the tech crew might be able to give you more insight than I can. Let me know if it still doesn't work and we'll figure something out!
