Factor Rainbows Worksheet

Description

This learning resource teaches students how to identify all factors of a given number using a visual method known as the factor rainbow. Factors are defined as numbers that divide evenly into another number, resulting in no remainder. The guide outlines the steps to create a factor rainbow, starting with writing the number 1 on the left and the target number on the right. Students are instructed to check consecutive integers for divisibility, drawing arcs to connect pairs that multiply to yield the target number. The document includes examples, guided and independent practice tasks, and reflection questions to help students understand the concept and visualize the factors systematically.
