How Many Numbers Can You Name? Try Out a Fun Factor Game!

Are you looking for a way to keep your students’ multiplication skills sharp while practising new skills? This game was designed for students to practise finding factors of different products.

To play, each student will receive a game board. Students will fill in each square with a number 1–9. A student can use a number twice. When all students have their game cards filled in, the first player will choose a product card. The player will consider and cross a factor on their game board. Players take turns drawing a card, naming a factor, and crossing out the corresponding number on their game board, if applicable. The goal is for players to cross out all the squares on their game board.  

Through this activity, students will show they can name factors of a given number up to 100.
