An alternative way of looking at factors. Students identify which factor is missing from a list and then assign a letter to it from a table. The letters form a mathematical word which they then choose the correct definition for.

Sample question:

i.    Which factor of 16 is missing from: 16, 8, 1, 2     
ii.    Which factor of 12 is missing from: 1, 6, 4, 2, 3    
iii.    Which factor of 32 is missing from: 8, 1, 4, 2, 32     
iv.    Which factor of 18 is missing from: 1, 3, 6, 9, 18     
v.    Which factor of 27 is missing from: 27, 1, 9     

The word is...

    A straight line.
    A symmetrical shape.
    A small angle that is less than 900.
