problem_activity: Stage 4: Whole Number and Fraction Factors
Required Preparation
Materials to Gather
Colored pencils, crayons, or markers
Number cubes
Paper clips
Materials to Copy
Blackline Masters
Rectangle Rumble Stage 4 Spinner
Rectangle Rumble Stage 4 Grid

Narrative
Students generate factors with a number cube and a spinner with fractions with denominators of 3, 6, or 12. Students use a
\(24 \times 24\)
grid that represents 16 square units.
Additional Information
Each group of students need a paper clip, a number cube, and two different color writing utensils.
