1. Print and cut out the cards on BLM: Product or Quotient Cards.
2. Shuffle the cards and deal eight cards to each player. Place the rest face down in a pile.
3. Players inspect and arrange their cards. The object is to find groups of three expressions that are related by multiplication or division.
Examples: 2x × 3y = 6xyor 8xy ÷ 4y = 2x
Note: A wild card may be substituted for any term.
4. The first player places any three cards that are related as explained in step 3 on the table. If there are cards remaining in his or her hand, the player draws a card from the pile and the turn is over.
5. Play passes to the next player. Play ends when
• all of the cards have been drawn from the pile, or
• a player is able to place all of his or her cards on the table
6. Each player's score is 20 – n, where n is the number of cards remaining in the player’s hand. The winner is the player with the highest score.
