The Factor Game

After 3 days at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center,  the 6th graders needed a very engaging activity to keep them going when we returned to school.  We had been working finding GCF and prime factoring numbers so the NCTM Illuminations Factor Game was a perfect activity.  At first the students played against the computer, then once they understood how the game was played they were able to play against each other.  I liked how the students were engaged in the game and how the grid could be adjusted to allow for more numbers/factors.
