Description
Box It Up helps students understand how to use the box method to multiply 2-digit numbers. It is an engaging, hands-on and high-interest game that makes multiplication concepts come to life. This game allows students to work with a partner, independently, or in a small group to find all 3 parts of a multiplication puzzle. They must show all of their work in order to complete the puzzle. My students LOVED this game, and after showing them a few examples they were all able to play independently.

I love using this to help students recognize what the box method is supposed to look like and how to set up their problems.
Thank you for such a great resource!!
Great Resource.
This was a wonderful small group activity.
Loved making multiplication hands on with this fun activity!
Thank you!
I wish that the pieces were mixed up on the paper so that I could give each child a paper to cut their own pieces out.
This resource is so fun!

CCSS4.NBT.B.5
Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
CCSS3.OA.A.1
Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
CCSS3.OA.A.2
Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.
