Investigation+1.1+Playing+the+Factor+Game


 * Mathematical Goals Investigation 1.1**


 * Need Labsheet 1.1**


 * Become familiar with the factors of the numbers from 2-30
 * Review multiplication and division of small whole numbers
 * Begin to recognize the difference between prime numbers and composite numbers
 * Relate dividing and finding factors of a number


 * As you play the game, think about these questions:**

Is it better to go first or second? Why? What is the best first move? Why? How do you know when the game is over? Why? How do you know when you have found all the factors of a number?

Is there a way to have all the numbers circled on the game board? What is the fewest number of factors that can be circled to finish the game? What is the worst first move? Is that the only possibility?
