LESSON 8 Workshop: Finding Multiples

Multiples Cover-Up

The goal is to be the first to place markers on all the spaces on the board. This is a game for three or more players.

Materials

  • clear plastic spinner or pencil and paper clip
  • beans or other small markers
  • Multiples Cover-Up Spinner and Multiples Cover-Up Game Boards pages in the Student Activity Book

Directions

  1. One player is the Caller. The remaining players make a game board on one of the game boards on the Multiples Cover-Up Game Board pages.
  2. The Caller spins and reads the description.
  3. If there are any numbers on a player's game board that fit the description, he or she puts a marker on one of those numbers.
  4. The first player to cover all the numbers on his or her game board wins the game.
  5. Switch the Caller and game boards after each game.

Sample Play

The Caller spins “Multiples of 2 and 5.” A player can cover either 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, or 80 on the sample game board shown below since these numbers are multiples of both 2 and 5.
