Students multiply using factors of 1–5 and 10. They choose the counter color each will use. One student places a paper clip on each of two numbers from the gray row on the gameboard. They multiply the numbers and place their color counter on the product. Their partner moves one of the paper clips to a different number, multiplies the numbers, and places their color counter on the product. They can choose to place both paper clips on the same number in order to cover the products 1, 9, 16, 25, and 100. Students take turns moving one paper clip, finding the product, and covering it with a counter. If the product is already covered on the gameboard, they move the same paper clip to a different number. The game ends when a player gets five counters in a row or the board is filled.

Each group of 2 students needs 25 two-color counters and 2 paper clips.

Students multiply, using factors of 1–9.  Partner A chooses two numbers from the gray row on the gameboard and places a paper clip on each number. They multiply the numbers and place their color counter on the product. Partner B moves one of the paper clips to a different number, multiplies the numbers, and places their color counter on the product. They can choose to place both paper clips on the same number in order to cover the products 1, 25, 49, 64, and 81. Students take turns moving one paper clip, finding the product, and covering it with a counter. If the product is already covered on the gameboard, they move the same paper clip to a different number. The game ends when a player gets 5 counters in a row or the board is filled.

Each group of 2 students needs 25 two-color counters and 2 paper clips.

Students multiply, using two-digit factors. They choose the counter color each will use. One student places a paper clip on the gameboard to cover one number in each gray row. They multiply the numbers and place their color counter on the product. Their partner moves one of the paper clips to a different number, multiplies the numbers, and places their color counter on the product. They can choose to place both paper clips on the same number. Students take turns moving one paper clip, finding the product, and covering it with a counter. If the product is already covered on the gameboard, they move the same paper clip to a different number. The game ends when a player gets five counters in a row or the board is filled.

Each group of 2 students needs 25 two-color counters and 2 paper clips.

Students multiply using three factors of 1–5. They choose the counter color each will use. One student places a paper clip on each of three numbers from the gray row on the gameboard. They multiply the numbers and place their color counter on the product. Their partner moves one of the paper clips to a different number, multiplies the numbers, and places their color counter on the product. They can place more than one paper clip on the same number. Students take turns moving one paper clip, finding the product, and covering it with a counter. If the product is already covered on the gameboard, they move the same paper clip to a different number. The game ends when a player gets five counters in a row or the board is filled.

Each group of 2 students needs 25 two-color counters and 3 paper clips.
