Capture the Bushels is an activity that helps students review and become more proficient at identifying factors and multiples of numbers while mixing in some strategy play. The goal of this activity is to capture the most bushels. How? The first player to place the fourth apple card into a bushel captures that bushel.
You can select the bushels and apple cards students will use based on their readiness levels. A multiplication chart and a divisibility rules chart are included to support learners.
Vocabulary anchor mats are included for students to review the following terms: factor, multiple, prime, and composite. Students can complete these anchor mats in small groups before this activity or independently as a formative assessment.
