Greatest Common FactorThe GCF is the biggest number that will divide into two numbers evenly. In other words, it's the number that contains all the common factors. So the GCF is the product of any and all factors that two numbers share.

The Sieve of Eratosthenes (multiples) – cross off multiples of numbers so you just have prime numbers left that haven’t been crossed off.

Rectangular Arrays (factors)- Use counters or square tiles to make rectangular arrays of a given number. An array is made into rows and columns. You first read the row number then the column number. For example, the students would make all arrays for the number 12. Then have them list the factors for the number 12. Is 12 prime or composite? When they make arrays for a prime number, there will only be 2 arrays because prime numbers have only 2 factors.

Buzz (multiples) Count up to 50, every time you get to a multiple of a number say “buzz”

Ex: multiples of 41, 2, 3, buzz, 5, 6, 7, buzz, 9, 10, 11, buzz*if you miss then go back to zero

Factor Captor (factors) – You begin with a number grid (see next page). Divide your class or team table into 2 teams. Give each team a different color marker. Have team 1 choose a number and circle it on the grid. Team 1 gets the number of points for the number they choose. Let’s say they choose 28, they would get 28 points. Then someone from team 2 (using their color marker) circles the factors of 28. They only get points for the factors they circle. A variation of game would be to give the other team points for naming factors that were missed. So let’s say team 2 circles 4 and 7 (11 points). If they circle a number that is NOT a factor then their turn ends and they can’t name any more factors. They will get points for the correct factors circled. When numbers have been used, they get crossed off the grid and can’t be used again. Then team 2 circles a number and team 1 has to circle the factors. They can’t circle a number that doesn’t have a factor left on the grid. The game ends when there aren’t any more numbers with factors left.

EX)Team 1 Team 2
