Activity Instructions

Have your students put a bean bag on a product. For example, if the beanbag is on 40, then ask the students what the factors of 40 are. If they choose 8 and 5, continue to break down the factors placing a beanbag on each number until they are prime (8=2×4). Identify all the prime factors. E.g. 2, 4, 5
