Andrea's Oddities

This game will reinforce finding factors for a given number. Students draw a number, then write all of the factors for that number. each factor counts as a leg for their bug. The winner is the player with the most legs on their bug. If their bug is a "Prime" Bug, they get bonus points. Bonus points are also given for bugs with a tail (bugs that have a double factor; 4x4, 5x5, 6x, etc.)

Superbug Smash is a fun way for students to practice factors, and prime and composite numbers. This game can be played in centers or as a whole class. The goal of the game is to find all the factors for a given product and to give your bug legs to match each factor. Each student gets a bug and a stack of product cards to play. Laminate your bugs for repeated use. Scoring rules for the game are printed right above each bug for an easy student reference.
