Factor Factory!

Instead of simply practicing more factor trees today I decided to invent an entire new activity called... the Factor Factory. :)  They are going to be using the factors of many common numbers their entire year in Math 6, so why not make a cheat sheet?!

You'll see a list of names/numbers below.  Each child has the responsibility for filling out the chart for their numbers (the number, prime or composite, and the factors) for homework.  They'll bring this in tomorrow, compare it with their partner's, and I'll compile a GIANT list of factors.  Whoohoo!

Onward!
