NOTE TO FAMILIES
This week’s card game gives students practice with their multiplication facts. The game uses a variety of
models for multiplication including the array model, counting patterns, and equal groups. Remind your
child to complete the worksheet and return it to school.
Instructions for Multiplication Draw
1
Shuffle the cards and place them
face down between both players.
2
Each player draws a card
and figures out the solution. The
solution might be the solution to a
multiplication fact, a missing number
in a counting pattern, the total area
of an array, or the total number of
objects in equal groups.
5
Continue drawing cards until there
are no cards left. Then determine
how many cards each player has.
Can you count the cards by 2’s or 3’s
to make it faster? The player with the
most cards wins!

3
Make sure both partners agree on
the solutions.
4
The player whose solution is greater
takes both cards.
Midori Mom, your solution is 24, because
it’s adding 4 each time. The area of my array is 36, so I win!

Home Connection 18 H Worksheet
NOTE TO FAMILIES
This worksheet gives students practice with some of the more difficult multiplication facts. You could encourage your child to use the ×5 facts to help solve the ×6 facts on this page and the ×10 facts to help
solve the ×9 facts on the back. Refer to your Solving Multiplication Facts book if you need to review how
these strategies work. The worksheet also provides some challenge with division facts if your child wants
to try division, but students are not required to complete the division problems.
Multiplying by 5, 6, 9 & 10
1 Circle all the clock facts (×5) in blue. Then go back and do them.

NOTE TO FAMILIES
This week’s game provides practice rounding to the nearest hundred. When rounding a number to the
nearest hundred, look at the number in the tens place. For example, 348 rounded to the nearest hundred is 300, because 348 is closer to 300 than it is to 400. On the other hand, 383 rounded to the nearest hundred would be 400. When the number in the tens place is 5, we round up, so that 250 rounded
to the nearest hundred is 300. When you have finished the game, have your child complete the worksheet and return it and the game record sheet to school.
You’ll need a record sheet, the nine number cards, a piece of scratch paper, and a
pen and pencil or two different colored pencils or pens for recording.
Instructions for Round Ball Hundreds
1
Mix up the cards and place them
face down in a deck or spread out.
2
The first player draws 3 cards at
random and arranges them to make a
3-digit number. In the example below,
8, 4, and 6 could be used to make
864, 846, 684, 648, 486, or 468. If you
rounded 846 to the nearest 100, it
would be 800. You would record 846
in the basketball hoop marked 800.

The player returns the cards to the
deck, mixes them up, and places them
face down. The second player draws 3
cards, arranges them, rounds the number to nearest hundred, and records his
or her number in the appropriate basket
using a different color pen or pencil.
4
Continue taking turns drawing
3 cards each and deciding how to
arrange the numbers and then round
the 3-digit number. If you can’t make a
number for a hoop where you haven’t
written a number yet, you miss the
turn. Remember to return your cards
to the deck after each turn.

The first person to get 1 number in
each basket wins.

This worksheet gives students practice rounding to the nearest ten and hundred. Round numbers to the
nearest ten by checking the digit in the ones place. If that digit is 5 or greater, round up to the next ten.
If the digit is 4 or less, the digit in the tens place stays the same. When you round to the nearest hundred, check the digit in the tens place. If that digit is 5 or greater, round up to the next hundred. If that
digit is 4 or less, the digit in the hundreds place stays the same.

NOTE TO FAMILIES
This week you and your child will take turns drawing at least two number cards that you’ll add together
to get as close to 200 as you can. The object of the game is to be the player who comes closest to 200.
This game will provide some additional practice with 2- and 3-digit addition and subtraction. Remind
your child to complete the worksheet and return it to school, along with with the 3 record sheets.
You’ll need a deck of Make 200 Cards, a record sheet, and two pencils.
Instructions for Make 200
1
Get a deck of Make 200 Cards to
share. Shuffle the cards and place
them face down between you.
Now the other player draws 2 cards
and does the same.
5
2
You’ll each fill out your own grids
on the same paper.
3
Take 2 cards and turn them face
up. Estimate the sum of the amounts
shown on the two cards. Record the
two numbers in the boxes below the
grids and color in the amounts on your
grids. Use a different color for each
number. Color in both grids completely before you start using the strips and
units on the right.

You and your partner each need to
decide for yourselves whether you’ll
draw a third card or whether you
will hold.
6
When you have both drawn a third
card or decided to hold, fill in your
totals and figure out how far over or
under 200 you both are. The player
who is closest to 200 wins.
7
Use the other two record sheets to
play two more rounds together.
