Games to Teach Mutliples/Factors

See the review below for Number Cop.

While searching for other games for my students to try out I also found the following

Pumpkin Multiples Simple game where you can chose a multiple then you have to move a cute little ghost to "catch" the numbers it is a factor of. At the end of the game it tells you your score and reminds you of the numbers that are multiples of your target number.

Product Game A little more challenging, but a 2 person game, suitable for an IWB. Students use their knowledge of timestables and a little strategy to win a "Connect 4" type game.

Grid Game A simple grid game where students have to find the factors of a given number OR find the odd or even numbers.

A smartboard resource can also be downloaded here and a bubble popping game (no download needed) here.

A trial version of Prime Time Maths, which is a tetris style game, can be downloaded. Even the first level is enough to reinforce factor trees. The only way to get rid of 8 is to click 2x2x2 and 18 3x3x3 (so cubed numbers as well!!!).
