Identifying Factors - PowerPoint

In an engaging set of maths teaching resources, Year 5 students are introduced to the concept of identifying factors through a variety of colourful activities. The resources include worksheets and PowerPoint slides that prompt students to discover the factors of given numbers. For example, one task involves colouring the factors of numbers such as 15, 28, 36, 52, 66, and 45. This interactive method helps students to visually associate factors with their corresponding numbers, reinforcing their understanding of multiplication and division principles.

Further exercises guide students to find factor pairs and fill in Venn diagrams to determine common factors between pairs of numbers. The tasks are designed to be both educational and enjoyable, with factor pairs rainbows and common factors worksheets that encourage critical thinking and problem-solving. By engaging with these activities, students will enhance their ability to identify factors, recognise factor pairs, and understand the relationship between different numbers. These resources aim to build a strong foundation in key mathematical concepts that are crucial for students' progress in maths.
