This document provides instructions for a math game called 4-in-a-Row. Players take turns multiplying two factors on a game board by placing paper clips on the factors and putting their marker on the product, with the goal of being the first to get four of their markers in a row. Variations include using Xs and Os instead of paper clips and markers, keeping score of the fewest moves to win, or playing cooperatively to find a way to win in fewer total moves.

Directions: You need 2 paper clips and 15 game markers for each player. You can use pennies and nickels, 2 color counters,
beans in two colors, or two colors of paper cut into squares.
Player 1: Place each paper clip on the two factors you want to multiply. Multiply and put your marker on the product.
Player 2: Move one paper clip to change one of the two factors. Multiply and put your marker on the product.
The winner is the first player to get four products in a row.
Variations: A) Players use an X and O to mark their spots. Keep the game boards and see what number is best to start with or
see how few moves it takes to win. B) Play cooperatively by finding a way to win in fewer moves.
