Product Description:
Looking for a way to practice multiplication and division facts that isn't all drill & kill? Take a break from the book with bumper cars! Like the addition/subtraction version, the object of this board game is to claim clusters of cars by solving single-digit math problems. Each player spins to see what two numbers they are multiplying or dividing, solves the related equation, and places a token on the corresponding car. Cars are clustered by product/quotient, each fact appearing in only one cluster, starting with 9's. (meaning 2x9 appears in the 9 cluster, not the 2 cluster). You can bump others off clusters as you get answers right. Each cluster of bumper cars has between 1 & 7 cars. You are building fluency in multiplication facts 2's-9's and division facts (up to 819, not including 1's) by solving mental math problems, as well as building the relationship between the two. Just the visual of seeing the parts with their whole on each car strengthens the number families in children's minds. Players receive points for clusters they have claimed, with the bigger number facts worth more points. Directions are simple and specific; board unfolds to a 16" square. The spinner and tokens are made of sturdy cardboard and there are some plastic pieces. It is colorful and well made. Made for 2-4 players age 9+. Supports state, national, & CC standards. ~ Sara
