Students can compete against each other to find the factors of a number. The more factors you find, the more points you receive!
In this lesson, students will understand the concept of a factor. Students will determine the factors that belong to a whole number.
In this activity, students will receive a flyer listing the prizes available to the first 100 people in line at the state fair. Using the information on the flyer, students will determine which people in line will win a prize. Since the flyer contains statements such as “every 5th person will receive a stuffed animal” and “every 6th person will receive a concert ticket,” students will need to apply knowledge of factors and multiples while problem solving. This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.
In this lesson, students explore factors of whole numbers. Students work with a computer program in order to practice factorization.
In this lesson, students explore remainders using Pascal's triangle.
This document contains a few questions that you can use as you are checking for understanding of factors, multiples, and prime numbers in you class.
In this lesson, students find factor pairs for numbers to 100 and use understanding of factors to define prime and composite.
In this lesson, students use the division and the associative property to test for factors and observe patterns.
In this lesson, students learn how to determine whether a whole number is a multiple of another number.
In this lesson, students will explore the properties of prime and composite numbers to 100 by using multiples.
Enhance your regular instruction with a logic puzzle that allows your students to think about factors and multiples in a different way!
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about identifyinging common factors.
This task helps students to see the patterns inherent to how the numbers factor. Examination of the patterns will lead discussion toward the introduction of prime versus composite numbers.
The goal of this task is to work on finding multiples of some whole numbers.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about identifyinging prime or composite numbers.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about identifying the multiples of a given number.
Students recall multiplication to 10 x 10 and the corresponding division facts.
Students are provided with a scenario and asked to determine which amounts of postage is it impossible to make using only five-cent and seven-cent stamps? The mathematics task is intended to be a problem or question that encourages the use of mathematical practices. The dialogue is meant to show how students might engage in the mathematical practices as they work on the task.
Kakooma is an interactive math puzzle game where students are challenged to search within a group of numbers to find the number that is the sum of two others (or the product of two others in the multiplication level.) To solve a single puzzle, students often end up doing dozens of calculations in their head, sometimes more than a hundred! This is a great game for practicing addition and/or multiplication fluency.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about listing all factors.
