To create a comprehensive and effective series of online factoring worksheets, the curriculum should move from basic multiplication relationships to complex algebraic synthesis. Factoring is essentially “multiplication in reverse,” and students need to master the building blocks before tackling polynomial equations.
Here is a logical progression of topics for a game/worksheet series:
| Phase 1: The Numerical Foundation |
|---|
| Divisibility Rules: Quick tricks to see if a number is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 9, or 10. |
| · Divisibility Rules Game |
| Factors and Multiples: Identifying all factor pairs of a number (e.g., factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12). |
| · Factor Finder Game |
| Prime vs. Composite Numbers: Understanding the “atoms” of the number system. |
| · Prime or Composite Numbers (List the factors. State whether Prime or Composite) |
| Prime Factorization: Using Factor Trees to break a number down into its prime components. |
| · Prime Factorization Game |
| · Prime Factorization Game (Exponential Form) |
| Greatest Common Factor (GCF): Finding the largest shared factor between two or more numbers. |
| · Greatest Common Factor Game |
| · Least Common Multiple Game |
| Phase 2: Introduction to Algebraic Factoring |
|---|
| This phase transitions from numbers to variables, focusing on the distributive property in reverse. |
| Factoring out the GCF from Binomials, Trinomials and Polynomials: Identifying common variables and constants. |
| · Factor Linear Expressions (Find GCF) |
| · Factor Binomials (-24x3+30x2) |
| · Factor Polynomials (GCF) |
| Factoring by Grouping: Used for polynomials with four terms where there isn’t a GCF for the whole expression, but pairs can be factored. |
| · Factor by Grouping |
| Phase 3: Factoring Quadratic Trinomials |
|---|
| How to factor quadratic trinomials in the form ax2 + bx + c. |
| Trinomials with a = 1 or a > 1 |
| · Factor Trinomials |
| The Diamond Method: A visual tool to help students organize the numbers needed for trinomial factoring. |
| · Factor Trinomials (Diamond) (a=1) |
| · Factor Trinomials by Grouping (a>1) |
| Phase 4: Special Products and Identities |
|---|
| Some polynomials follow specific patterns that allow for “shortcut” factoring. Students should be taught to recognize these visually. |
| Recognizing patterns like a2 - b2 = (a - b)(a + b). |
| · Difference of Two Squares (DOTS) |
| Identifying expressions that condense into (a + b)2 or (a - b)2. |
| · Perfect Square Trinomials |
| Sum and Difference of Cubes: Advanced patterns for a3 ± b3. |
| · Sum and Differences of Cubes |
| Phase 5: Applications |
|---|
| Solving Equations by Factoring: Applying the Zero Product Property. |
| · Solve Quadratic Equations (a = 1) |
| · Solve Quadratic Equations (a > 1) |
Factor Math Games
| Multiplication StationClick on the squares to multiply the numbers so that they equal the value under the word "number" Although it is called multiplication Station, you are essentially looking for the factors of the number. | Factor BonesThe pups are hungry and have ordered bones from the store. But which bone did each pup order? Their bone is numbered and they are holding one of the factors of the number on the bone. |
| Factor Game The game involves a board with the numbers 1 - 30 listed on a five by six grid. Players take turns choosing a number. The first player picks a number and the other player selects all the factors of that number that are not circled on the board. | The Factor Game Find the proper factors and win. Test your skills against a human or the computer. |
| Math Speed Racing Factors Keep on racing by keeping your race car fueled up and avoiding other cars. Fuel up by getting the fuel that has a factor of the your car's number. Game over if you run out of fuel or run into another racer. As you play longer the numbers to factor get larger! | Factors & Multiples Find the prime factorization, factors and multiples. Score points and see who wins. |
| Mathpup Hook FactorsUse the hook and bumpers to swing or bounce MathPup to the factor of the target number while avoiding the non-factor number. | Side by Side Factors You are given a list of seven numbers in a row, and you must rearrange the numbers in such a way that all adjacent numbers are relatively prime. |
| Mathpup Draw FactorsDraw a path for MathPup so you can guide him to the correct Factor Bones. See if you can complete all 20 levels or just replay levels if you just want to practice factoring. | Cannon Math FactorsShoot all of the factors of the target number with one shot by strategically placing angled walls. You'll need to angle the walls just right so that the cannon shot hits all of the factors without hitting any non-factors. |
| Mathpup Treasure HuntEliminate all enemy tanks by targeting their locations. Choose to play against the computer or another person. You can play by just using multiplication but to really excel you'll need to know factor pairs of numbers. | Number Crunch FactorsDetermine if the statement about factors is true or false. |
| Math MatrixMathPup is geared up in scuba gear and looking for treasure. Choose the skill to practice and guide MathPup to the correct treasure chests. And watch out for sharks. Choose the math skill to practice: counting numbers, number order, finding factors or finding prime composite numbers. | Mathpup Drive FactorsMathPup has to choose the correct tollgate based on if it is a factor of the target number or not. Help MathPup choose the correct tollgates to reach the end of each level. |
| Math Tank FactorsDrive your tank safely through the minefield by finding factors of a given number. Mines that contain numbers that are factors are safe to go over while mines with numbers that aren't factors will disable your tank. | Jackie Boy FactorsHelp Jackie Boy on his factor gathering walkabout. You'll need to guide him to factors of the target number while avoiding non-factors. |
