In this millionaire-style game, students will find factor pairs for a whole number and recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors.

This is a single-player game that can be played on computers, iPads, and other tablets.
You do not need to install an app to play this game on the iPad. How many points can you earn? Play this fun and interractive game to show off your math skills.

The game is based on the following Common Core math standards:

CCSS 4.OA.4 Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100. Recognize
that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine
whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is a multiple of a
given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in
the range 1-100 is prime or composite.

Factors and multiples are different things.

But they both involve multiplication:

Factors are what we can multiply to get the number

Multiples are what we get after multiplying the number by an integer (not a fraction).

Example: the positive factors, and some multiples, of 6:

Factors:

Multiples:

(Note: there are negative factors and multiples as well)

Here are the details:

Factors

"Factors" are the numbers we can multiply together to get another number:

2 and 3 are factors of 6

A number can have many factors.

Example: 12

AND because multiplying negatives makes a positive, −1, −2, −3, −4, −6 and −12 are also factors of 12:

So ALL the factors of 12 are:

Multiples

A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by an integer (not a fraction).

Example: Multiples of 3:

..., −9, −6, −3, 0, 3, 6, 9, ...

Example: 15 is a multiple of 3, as 3 × 5 = 15
Example: 16 is not a multiple of 3

Example: Multiples of 5:

..., −15, −10, −5, 0, 5, 10, 15, ...

Example: 10 is a multiple of 5, as 5 × 2 = 10
Example: 11 is not a multiple of 5
Least Common Multiple.
Multiples of Anything

We must multiply by an integer, but the number that is being multiplied can be anything.

The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.

In words: 8 ² could be called "8 to the power 2" or "8 to the second power", or simply "8 squared"
Exponents are also called Powers or Indices.
Some more examples:

Example: 5³ = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125

In words: 5³ could be called "5 to the third power", "5 to the power 3" or simply "5 cubed"

Example: 2⁴ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16

In words: 2⁴ could be called "2 to the fourth power" or "2 to the power 4" or simply "2 to the 4th"

Exponents make it easier to write and use many multiplications

Example: is easier to write and read than 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9

You can multiply any number by itself as many times as you want using exponents.

Try here:

In General

So in general:

a n tells you to multiply a by itself,
so there are n of those a's:

Another Way of Writing It

Sometimes people use the ^ symbol (above the 6 on your keyboard), as it is easy to type.

Example: 2^4 is the same as 2⁴

Negative Exponents

Negative? What could be the opposite of multiplying?

A negative exponent means how many times to divide one by the number.

Example: 8⁻¹ = 1 ÷ 8 = 0.125

You can have many divides:

Example: 5⁻³ = 1 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 = 0.008

But that can be done an easier way:

5⁻³ could also be calculated like:

Negative? Flip the Positive!

Calculate the positive exponent (an)

Then take the 1/aReciprocal (i.e. n)

More Examples:

What if the Exponent is 1, or 0?

It All Makes Sense

My favorite method is to start with "1" and then multiply or divide as many times as the exponent says, then you will get the right answer, for example:

Example: Powers of 5

.. etc..

.. etc..

If you look at that table, you will see that positive, zero or negative exponents are really part of the same (fairly simple) pattern.

Be Careful About Grouping

To avoid confusion, use parentheses () in cases like this:

How about a fun exponent game that students will find themselves wanting to play again and again. It's a simple game that kids can really have fun with. All you need is a deck of playing cards.

Materials: Deck of playing cards

Skill: Exponents, Multiplication

How to Play: Decide who the dealer will be rolling a die. The person with the higher number is the dealer.

All of the cards are dealt face down, one at a time to each player until there are no cards left. Each later should have an equal number of cards.

Each player will then their top face up at the same time. This card will represent the base for each player.

Each player then turns over their next card. This card represents the exponent for each player.

After each round of turning cards over, the player with the highest product, wins that round and collects each of the player's cards that have been turned over that round.

So that means the winner of each round will get a total of two cards from each player, their base and exponent cards.

In case of a tie after a round, the players involved in the tie will need to do a face-off. For the face-off, gather the all of the cards that were turned over for that round together in a pile and shuffle.

Turn the cards face down and spread out so that each player in the face-off can draw one card. This is to determine who will shuffle and deal the cards for the face-off.

The player that draws the highest card will be the dealer for the face-off.The face-off is done just like a normal round. The winner of this face-off round is then the wins the tie-breaker and collects all the cards that were turned over in that round.

Play continues until all the cards are turned over.

The winner of the game is the player that has collected the most cards!
