Factors & Multiples Critical Thinking Activity - Math Enrichment Review Riddles

Keeping the math concepts of factors and multiples straight is a challenge to math skills & critical thinking! This enrichment set of elimination riddle task cards and math rotation game will strengthen your students’ skills and keep them thinking carefully about multiples and factors through 100.

These math riddles are a unique way to keep the fun in math while growing your students' abilities in multiplication, division, and critical thinking skills.

Here's how these math elimination riddles work!

Choosing from four numbers on each card, your students will determine Super Sleuth's Secret Number by using math clues to eliminate three of the options. With each riddle task card they complete, your students will determine factors and/or multiples for four numbers. They'll have a great time and won’t even realize that they’ve completed 96 examples in all, and with so much more fun than an average worksheet can provide!
