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!!!).

Number Cop

Number Cop I have to confess I spent way too much time playing this game this morning.

I was looking for a game that could be used by my students to reinforce prime/composite numbers. Part of the learning cycle is to learn about factors & multiples.

The game has 3 levels of difficulties and you can chose to "chase down" prime numbers, rational numbers, fractions in their lowest forms, or square numbers. You can also just leave the selection blank and click one of the numbers on the number pad to play a multiples game.

The graphics are fun and it sends out enough numbers to make even the lowest level fun and challenging.

As an added bonus there is feedback both during the game and at the end of the game to tell the students which numbers were wrong and why.
