Differentiation Activity

Using the numbers 2,3,5,6,9, students need to try different combinations to multiply together to find the greatest product. They can also work to find the product that is the lowest.  If you would like cards for partners to use, click on the ones below.

5.NBT.2 & 5
Module 12 Lesson 7
Differentiation Activity

Students draw two cards (numeral cards, playing cards, or even dice) and write down the corresponding math fact.  They then have 30 seconds to write as many equations as they can using those same numbers, just adding decimals in places.  Students are awarded points by how many correct equations that they create.  The student with the most points after five rounds is the winner.  Students may also do this with division if they choose.
