Narrative
Students find factors and multiples for a given number. To start, one player chooses an even number less than 50. The other player covers either a factor or multiple of that number. Students take turns covering either a multiple or factor of the previous number. When there are no factors or multiples left to cover, the player who covered the last number gets a point. Students take turns choosing the starting number. Students play 10 rounds, as time allows, and the player with the most points wins.
Additional Information
