What is the goal of the game?

In Multiplication Bingo, students solve multiplication facts asked by a friendly monster and mark the correct products on their bingo card. The goal is to complete a line (a row, a column, or a diagonal) as quickly as possible. Each completed card adds to the win counter, and a brand-new card is ready to play.

Recommended age and educational level

This game is recommended for students ages 7 to 10, from 2nd to 4th grade. It works well for introducing new times tables, for review, and as extra practice for students who need to build multiplication fluency.

How to play: single-player or multiplayer

This is a single-player game. Before starting, use the settings wheel to choose:

• Which times tables to practice or study.
• The card size: 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5.

Read the monster's question and find the correct answer on the card. The numbers are randomly arranged and often repeated, so students must decide which square gets them closest to bingo. There is no time limit, which lets every student work at their own pace. A counter on the right shows how many bingo cards have been completed.
