Critical thinking in action! 💡 ​Thursday, in Ms. Clark’s 6th-grade math class, students engaged in The Product Game. This activity challenges students to move beyond basic memorization of multiplication facts by requiring them to think strategically about factors and products to block their opponents. It’s amazing how fast you can learn your multiples when a win is on the line! Multiplying the fun, one square at a time. ​ #ProductGame #MinorMiddle #ActiveLearning #6thGrade
