Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1–100; identify common factors and common multiples of two numbers; use these concepts to solve problems
Suggested ages 9–11
Learning journey
Your child is mastering more complex multiplication and division — working with larger numbers, understanding factors and multiples, solving multi-step problems, and beginning to use formal written methods.
Evidence of understanding
- List all factor pairs of 36: (1,36), (2,18), (3,12), (4,9), (6,6)
- State the first five multiples of 7
- Find the common factors of 24 and 36
- Find all common factors of 36 and 48
- Identify the first three common multiples of 6 and 8
- Determine whether a given number (e.g. 97) is prime and justify the reasoning
Assessment prompt
Can Factors, multiples, and primes list all the factor pairs for a number like 36 — (1, 36), (2, 18), (3, 12), (4, 9), (6, 6) — and find factors that two numbers share?
