Find the Number Stage 1 Directions and Gameboard

Narrative
Students find all the factors for a given number. One player chooses a number on the gameboard (1–36) and they get that many points. The other player covers all the factors of that number. Their score is the sum of all the covered factors. Students take turns choosing the starting number. If a player chooses a number that doesn’t have any uncovered factors, they lose their next turn. When there are no numbers remaining with uncovered factors, the player with the most points wins.
Additional Information
Each group of 2 needs 36 centimeter cubes.
