Students fire at each other’s fleet by solving multiplication equations in this strategy-based twist on Battleship. Each turn, a player drags two factor tokens into row and column slots to form a product, targeting the matching cell on the opponent’s board; hitting a ship tile scores a hit, and the first player to sink all five ships wins. This activity supports Florida BEST, Common Core, and TEKS multiplication standards.
Skills: multiplication fluency, coordinate reasoning, strategic thinking, spatial reasoning. Grades 3-6.
