Prime Factors and Multiples Trashketball Math Game

Get your students engaged and moving while working with prime and composite numbers, prime factorization, greatest common factors (GCF), and least common multiples (LCM). Prime Factors and Multiples Trashketball is a competitive and motivating math game that involves students working with prime factorization and shooting baskets at the end of each round. There are 6 rounds in this game with 10 questions in round 1 and 8 questions in rounds 2-6. This resource includes a PDF & PowerPoint Slides.

The PowerPoint Slides can be uploaded into Google Drive and assigned through Google Classroom. It won't be a game this way but your students will be able to add a text box and answer the questions.

What's Included:

PDF that includes teacher information, black & white versions (slides, answer keys, rules)

PowerPoint Slides that include rules for students, six rounds in color (each on their own slide, NOT EDITABLE), answer keys, and a blank decorative slide to add more rounds if you wish.

Round 1 - prime or composite

Round 2 - prime factorization written as a multiplication expression

Round 3 - prime factorization written as a multiplication expression using exponent form

Round 4 - decide if the prime factorization is correct

Round 5 - find the greatest common factors (sets of 2 & 3 numbers)

Round 6 - find the least common multiples (sets of 2 & 3 numbers)

You can project the slides for all to see or use the printable version. You will need a large container or trash can, a small ball or bean bag, and some tape to mark off shooting lines.
