Targeted Needs of Student:

Finding the factors of a number quickly and accurately, developing teamwork skills, writing numbers, understanding concept of factors and multiplication

Goal:

To provide students with practice finding the factors of numbers

Materials Needed:

1.      Number cards

2.      White boards

3.      Expo markers

Explanation/Summary:

Students will work in teams to determine the factors of a number. The teacher will flash a card with a number on the board or on a document camera. Then, the teams have one minute to find the factors, write them on a white board and show the teacher. The first team to have the correct factors on their board wins a point for their team.
