Finding factors

Using a strategy called 1-2-4, we shared our definitions of the word, 'factor'. This helped us when we learned to play the game, "Finding Factors'. We analyzed all aspects of multiplication and discovered many important points. We know that multiplication can be expressed through arrays which are equal groups. We looked at arithmetic patterns of factors and their products. We also learned a prime number only has two factors, itself and one and that this is an illegal move in the game. We tried the game and applied our knowledge and skills in multiplication.
