I am having a bit of a craze on Factors at the moment. I searched the web for “Fun with Factors” and came across this brilliant and very simple game on the NRICH website.**
There’s a neat online version or you can play a pen and paper version. I am likely to spend a while playing the online version today! What’s the longest chain you can make? I managed 18.
If you are aiming for a depth of understanding of Factors, then play as many games as possible – this is a really simple game for 2+ players that just needs 2 dice and a CASIO scientific calculator.
If you know another great factorising game, put it in the comments below!
**The game works brilliantly on a laptop but not so strong on an android phone.
