For example have students identify greatest common factor in the note section, have them write out what they found, or have them order the numbers from least to greatest…etc. Use the note section to customize the worksheet to your classroom. Compare the sets of factors until you find the biggest number that's in both sets. Start by finding all the factors of the set you are comparing. Students will practice multiplication, prime factorization(factoring), and exponents. You don't have to know prime factorization to find the greatest common factor. This is perfect for students to explicitly see and experience hands on what factor trees are, how to use them, and how to write the prime factorization of numbers. I created this activity to directly align with Common Core. Add em: Add up a sequence of consecutive numbers. **You need at least one die per student.** Abundant Buses: A game based around the concept of factors and abundant numbers. This worksheet works as a great activity for math centers “rotations”, bell work (bell-work), review, or whole class activity.
My 5th Grade students love this Prime Factorization with Exponents Dice Game! Great to play as a whole class in Math centers, rotations or as a group!
