How can we use area models to find all the factor pairs of a number?
For example:Find all the factors pairs of 20.
In this lesson you will learn how to find all the factor pairs
of a number by using area models.
Let’s ReviewMultiplication can be shown
as an area model, also known as a rectangular array.

A Common Mistake
When listing factor pairs, don’t forget to list the number as a factor of itself.
6= 1x6

Extension ActivitiesGAME: Factor Capture
Materials: (1) Set of playing cards with the Kings, Queens, & Jacks removed.(2) Paper and pencil for each playerDirections: Place all the cards in a stack between the players. Flip over two cards and multiply the two cards by each other. Players have one minute to list as many factor pairs as they can for that product. When one minute is over, the student with the most correct factor pairs wins and places the cards in a ‘win stack’. If no one wins, leave the cards for the next round.
