This lesson guide focuses on helping students understand factors and factor pairs of whole numbers. It outlines learning objectives such as identifying factors, finding pairs, and solving related problems. The guide includes a variety of activities, like the Mystery Box Challenge, which encourages hands-on exploration of factors using manipulatives. It emphasizes key vocabulary, systematic methods to identify factors, and the importance of visual models like arrays.
