| Multiplication Baseball Materials: 2 regular dice, 4 pennies, a multiplication grid or a calculator, playing field Number of players: 2 Directions: Take turns being the “pitcher” and the “batter”. 1. At the start of the inning, the batter puts a penny on home plate. 2. The pitcher rolls the two dice. The batter multiplies the two numbers that come up and tells the answer. The pitcher can check the answer in a multiplication table or on a calculator. 3. The batter looks up the product in the Hitting Table. If it is a hit, the batter moves all pennies on base as follows: Single 1 base Double 2 bases Triple 3 bases Home Run 4 bases or across home plate Hitting Table 1-6 Facts 1 to 9 Out 10 to 19 Single (1 base) 20 to 29 Double (2 bases) 30 to 35 Triple (3 bases) 36 Home Run (4 bases) 4. A run is scored each time a penny crosses home plate. If a play is not a hit, it is an out. 5. A player remains the batter for 3 outs. Then players switch roles. The inning is over when both players have made 3 outs. 6. After making the third out, a batter records the number of runs scored in that inning on the scoreboard. 7. The player who has more runs at the end of 4 innings wins the game. If the game is tied at the end of 4 innings, play continues into extra innings until one player wins. 8. Make your own scoreboard like the one below. |
