Description
This is a set of secret code scavenger hunts that give student a fun way to practice multiplication facts and build math fluency. These activities involve multiplication within 100 and are appropriate for 3rd grade (or 4th grade review).
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
There are 2 separate scavenger hunts in this resource:
- Set A: Llama theme - Students solve to find the product.
- Set B: Pig theme - Students complete the multiplication equation by filling in the unknown number (missing factor or product).
Each set includes:
- 15-17 multiplication problem cards
- Secret code recording sheet
- Answer key
Digital Version
The secret code recording sheets have been prepared for digital use in Easel. Answer boxes are already in place for students to type their answers. Using the digital option will let you save paper and ink by not having to print a worksheet for each child.
HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE
To play, scatter the cards around the room. When students find a card, they solve the multiplication problem and fill in the letter on their code sheet. If all problems are solved correctly, a secret message will be revealed!
These activities can also be used in your math centers instead of as a scavenger hunt. Instructions included in the file.
Preparing for a sub? Instead of busy work, include one of these scavenger hunts in your sub file! It's super easy to set up and the substitute will be free to move around the room to assist students.
This resource is aligned to the following math standards:
3.OA.A.4
Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = __ ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?.
3.OA.C.7
Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
