These are the rules to the Factor Game - if your sixth grader can explain them to you without this all the better! Let them teach you...you never learn something better than when you have to teach it!
1) Player A chooses a # on the game board and circles it.
2) Using a different color (or "circling" it with a square works too), Player B circles all of the factors of the # A chose (can't circle the number itself even though it is a factor because it has already been taken - a number can't be circled twice!) You get the value of the numbers you circle as points.
3) Player B now circles a new number and Player A circles all of the factors of the number that are not already circled.
4) The players take turns choosing numbers and circling factors.
5) IF a player circles a number that has no factors left because they have already been circled that player DOES NOT get the points for that number and then loses their next turn. You have to pick a number that has factors your opponent can circle!
6) THE GAME ENDS when you cannot do the latter, i.e. when there are no numbers left with uncircled factors.
7) Total up the points and see who wins! Winner does tacky victory dance!
