Factors Game

Miss, can we play Goosey, Goosey Gander again?

This is the Factors edition and involves questions that require children to list factors of numbers to 100.

This game will capitivate your students’ attention. They will LOVE using their times table and divisibility knowledge to find all the factors!

Goosey, Goosey Gander is a maths game with a twist.
Everyone who has ever tried to pass a goose knows exactly how cantankerous they can be! And this card game encapsulates that evil energy!
Children compete to pick cards and answer maths questions correctly. If correct, they get to keep the card. The aim is to keep hold of the most cards when the timer ends.

But there are also sabotage cards in the deck!
One of them being the ‘Goose With The Evil Laugh!’
When the goose is selected, you must put all your cards back!

Your children may get another go, they may have to return one card or get a friend to return a card - this game is part skill and part luck! Either way, they will be hooked!

Need to differentiate?
Make it easier:
Remove questions that your group is not ready for. Perhaps you print more of the factors up to 20 or 40 or 60.
Perhaps some children only need to give a pair of factors rather than list them all.
Allow children to work in pairs.
Make it harder - use all cards to 100
Make it harder - announce when a number is prime.

Included:

Child friendly directions

Sabotage cards
Answer pages for children to self mark
