Re: Factor tree lesson
Posted by DSF/NJ on 5/13/08

    Years ago someone posted the Juniper Green game on this site.
    This is for multiples and factor (not trees), though. I
    believe that the name of the game comes from the school where
    it was created.

    Two kids share a hundreds chart. One chooses a number on the
    board and crosses it off and the other student has to cross off
    any multiple or factor of that number. The kids take turns
    until one of them has no move to make (the other one wins).
    There is a strategy involved.

    Don't know if you can incorporate it. And I realize this is a
    little late - hope it went well, though. And you can add this
    to your files of games for the future.
