Factors Activities - PowerPoint

In a series of engaging mathematical exercises for Year 5 students, the focus is on understanding and identifying factors of given numbers. The activities present multiple-choice questions where students must determine which number is not a factor of another. For example, they are asked to find the non-factor of 60 from options including 6, 2, 12, 16, and 30. These exercises are designed to test and reinforce students' knowledge of multiplication and division, as well as their ability to recognise factors of numbers such as 32, 18, 54, 12, 88, 63, and 45. The activities are structured to encourage critical thinking and to help solidify the concept of factors in a clear and interactive way.

Additionally, worksheets are available where students are prompted to circle the number that does not have a certain factor. This includes identifying numbers without factors like 6, 9, 15, 8, 12, and 3 from given sets. For instance, students might be presented with a list of numbers such as 54, 16, 18, 24, and 66, and they need to circle the number that does not have 6 as a factor. These exercises not only enhance students' understanding of factors but also provide practice in recognising patterns and relationships between numbers, essential skills in the study of mathematics.
