Multiples and Factors Step by Step

This collection contains sufficient material on multiples and factors to cover several lessons. The material is designed to equip beginners with the skills necessary to work with fractions.

The presentation begins with an introductory slide showing how both multiples and factors are related to multiplication tables. It is then divided into two sections so that the teaching of multiples and factors can be treated separately if desired. Slides are advanced manually, but most are animated with conceal/reveal effects designed to encourage class participation in the lesson. Practice slides are included after each section so that learners can work in a supported way with partners or small groups before tackling fully independent work. Pupil handouts are included (a choice of black and white or colour). They have had answers removed so that they can be used as additional practice material. Learners will find them valuable as reference material when working independently in class or at home.

The 35 worksheets are graded according to difficulty and organised into sets of five. There are three sets on multiples and four on factors. For the teacher’s reference, each worksheet has a footer showing the range of numbers used in each set. They should provide sufficient work not only for use during lessons, but also for follow-up tasks at home and for revision purposes. Answer sheets are provided.
