This tutorial will help you to brush up on your multiplication, division and factoring skills with this exciting game. 

This fun and engaging game will test your knowledge of whole numbers as prime or composite.  As you shoot the asteroids with a particular factor, the asteroids will break down by that chosen factor.  Keep shooting the correct factors to totally eliminate the asteroids.  But be careful, shooting the wrong factor has consequences!

Test your factors skills with this fun factor game. Take turns choosing numbers from the board and identifying its factors. Outscore your opponent by identifying factors and using strategy to limit their score. Play against the computer or a friend.

This interactive game for two players develops students' fluency with multiplication facts, their understanding of the relationship between factors and products, and their strategic thinking. On a board displaying all the factors of the numbers 1-9, players take turns moving markers on the factor list and claiming their products. The first player to get four in a row wins the game.

Students determine if a given number is a multiple of six, both with and without context.

Students are asked to find all the factor pairs for each of four given numbers.

Students are asked to find all the factor pairs of a given number and identify the number as a multiple of the factors.

Students are asked to determine whether each of four given numbers is prime or composite and justify their choices.

The students will determine divisibility rules by looking for a pattern in multiples of a number. They will then utilize divisibility rules to find factors thereby strengthening this ability. The students will practice their factoring skills through the Four in a Row game. This lesson could be an introduction to divisibility rules but not findng factors.

In this lesson, students will start out using manipulatives to create arrays which will be used to find factor pairs. Students will use a T-Chart to determine the factor pairs of numbers. Students will then use their T-Charts to determine if a number is prime or composite.

Students will identify prime and composite numbers through arrays. The lesson begins with a fun situational story.

This lesson provides practice in learning factors of numbers. Students will play a factor game then participate in a thought-provoking task. It is helpful if students know what a prime number is, but it is not essential.

In this lesson, students will be using rectangles to find prime and composite numbers.  Students will draw different rectangles for the area of a given set of numbers.  They will determine the factor pairs for each number in the given set and use them to discover the meaning of prime and composite numbers.

This is a foundation lesson in which the students will visually see the relationship between factors and products. As a result of this hands-on lesson and guided discussion, they will learn to identify the factors of a given number.

This is an introductory lesson addressing factors for number 1-20. Factoring will lead students to discover differences and similarities between prime and composite numbers. Students will also discuss five claims about factors, prime, and composite numbers and create support from examples and non-examples to determine whether these claims are valid or invalid.

Students will use a 100s chart to sort out the prime numbers under 100 using the Sieve of Eratosthenes method. 

This activity provides an introduction to composite numbers and prime numbers through factorization.

Discover what makes prime and composite numbers unique thanks to an interesting backyard problem in this interactive tutorial.

The goal of this task is to work on finding multiples of some whole numbers on a multiplication grid. After shading in the multiples of 2, 3, and 4 on the table, students will see a key difference.  The focus can be on identifying patterns or this can be an introduction or review of prime and composite numbers.
