Math BINGO

Using a BINGO card the students will do addition, multiplication, or both in order to get BINGO. Here’s how:
Each student is given a BINGO card
The teacher holds flashcards, some with addition problems and some with multiplication problems.
As the teacher shows the students the flashcards they will have to try and find the numeric answer on their BINGO card and place a chip on that number.
When a student gets all of the numbers in a row, column, or diagonal (from corner to corner) they shout out “BINGO!” and show the teacher their answers.
We do it all again! The students clear their cards and begin a new round.
Math BINGO requires that students are able to perform one- and two- digit
addition and multiplication questions, as
appropriate for their grade level.

The two main math topics that are covered in BINGO are addition and multiplication. Addition is the combining of two or more sets (in this case numbers or addends) to create one whole set or sum. Multiplication is the combining of one number (or factor) to itself a given number of times to create a whole or product.
1. Addend + Addend = Sum
4 + 6 = 10
2. Factor x Factor = Product
5 x 3 = 15
(5 + 5 + 5)
*In multiplication sometimes the factors have different names. For the problem above the five can also be called a multiplicand and the three can also be called a multiplier.
Here are some sample questions that your child might be asked on a New York State math test in 3rd grade:
Sample A
227
+ 14
A)311 B)241* C)231 D)232
Sample B
Kendra paints 4 rows of flowers. She paints 8 flowers in each row. What is the total number of flowers Kendra paints?
A)12 B)28 C)32* D)48

Learning addition and multiplication are key math operations that will be the base for further understanding of more complex skills. They will also build the foundation for future problem solving.
For Example:
How many times have you gone to the store and had to quickly add up the price of your items to see if you brought enough cash or if you’d stay within your budget?
When was the last time you took everyone out to get a snack and had to multiply the price of ice cream cones by the number of kids who were about to ruin their new, clean shirts?
When buying diapers how often did (or do) you multiply the number of times you were changing them in a day by seven to see how many would last you for the week… and to see if you’d have enough?
Adding and multiplying are like second nature to adults who use them on a daily bases.

The New York State Standards that best apply to BINGO can be found in the booklet or online under Number Sense and Operations.
The specific standard for each grade:
1.N.18 – “Use a variety of strategies to compose and decompose one-digit numbers”
2.N.16 – “Use a variety of strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems using one- and two- digit numbers with and without regrouping”
2.N.17 – “Demonstrate fluency and apply addition and subtraction facts up to and including 18”
3.N.18 – “Use a variety of strategies to add and subtract 3-digit numbers (with and without regrouping)”
3.N.19 – “Develop fluency with single digit multiplication facts”
