FIND THE RIGHT KIND OF PRACTICE

Factors

Read factor relationships and connect them with multiplication.

Factors are whole numbers that multiply to make another whole number. Reading a factor list can prompt useful discussion, but it is different from a game requiring players to type or select factor answers.

Smash Factor combines a visible factor list with an arcade wall-and-bounce challenge. Use its guide to separate what the controls demand from the mathematics you might discuss alongside play.

How to choose

  • Smash FactorExamine the displayed factor list while playing the wall-and-bounce game; it is not a factor-answer quiz.

A suggested discussion

pause and organize the displayed factors into pairs that multiply to the same number.

  • Which factor pairs produce the number?
  • Why does one always belong in the list?
  • How could multiplication check whether a proposed factor belongs?

Adapt this suggestion to your learner. It is not an implemented game feature or curriculum standard.
