Round 2: This round consists of two digit by one digit multiplication problems
( 11x 1 to 19 x 10)
Examples: 12 x 8 = ? 14 x 5 = ?

Round 3: This round consists of two digit by two digit multiplication digit. ( 11x11 to 19x20)
Examples: 25 x 20 = ? 17 x 12 = ?

For this round, a multiplication table will be distributed to participants prior to the competition. In case of a tie, students will be asked harder problems.

Game 24:
