Build students' understanding of factors and multiples with this set of 32 winter-themed task cards and printables.

Math Common Core State Standards addressed –
3.OA.5 – Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division.
3.OA.7 – Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Multiply and divide within 100.
4.OA – Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Gain familiarity with factors and multiples.

Included in this product are:
• student journal insert (two versions: color and grayscale)
• 32 task cards
• student answer sheet and key
• 2 activity sheets (with scoring guides)

Use the graphic reference sheet, sized to fit in a standard journal, to introduce or review the concepts of "factors" and "multiples." Then, have your students work in pairs, small groups, or even on their own to work through the 32 task cards. [This set of cards is also perfect for a quick game of Scoot!]

The two provided worksheets can be used to evaluate student understanding of factors and multiples. The worksheets are formatted similarly, and have similar types of questions, though the numbers on each are different. You can use these activity pages in a variety of ways. You could give one as a pre-test, then teach your lesson and allow students to practice with the task cards, and then give the second worksheet as an independent post-test. You could also have the students work on the task cards, then complete one of the worksheet as guided practice with yourself, a partner, or a small group, and then give the second worksheet as an independent assessment. The worksheets could also be given as homework, center assignments, or any other purpose that fits your teaching style or classroom routines.
