This was inspired by an excellent resource on TES by MrMawson (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/prime-factor-decomposition-logical-puzzle-11367345). I’ve used it with higher-attaining students, but wanted to adapt it to make it a bit more accessible to lower-attaining students.
In each question, students are given 2 numbers. They should draw prime factor trees for each number and look for common prime factors. The common prime factors go in the middle boxes, and the remaining prime factors go in the boxes around the outside. Solutions are provided.
