Learning about times tables and sharing
In this Grade 4 math collection, you can practice Factors, multiples and primes. Choose a game above for a short activity, or explore the examples below before you play. The full guide for each game explains its controls, gives more examples and includes a free printable for practice away from the screen.
Talk it through
Use counters, a drawing or a number line before moving to a mental method. Ask your child to explain a choice, then change one number and try the method again.
Ask: “How could you show the same answer another way?” Give your child time to explain. Return to an example after playing and ask whether they would approach it differently.
Factors, multiples and primes
The quiz mixes three types of question: 'Which of these is a prime number?', 'Which of these is a factor of 36?' and 'Which of these is a multiple of 7?'. Exactly one of the four choices is correct each time. For the prime questions, the wrong choices are odd numbers that look prime but are not, such as 51, 57 and 91.
Try an example: Is 91 prime?
91 is odd, its digits add to 10 so it is not divisible by 3, and it does not end in 0 or 5. But 91 ÷ 7 = 13.
Show the answer
No, 91 = 7 × 13
What to look out for
Thinking 1 is a prime number. A prime has exactly two different factors. 1 has only one, so it is neither prime nor composite.

- Arrange 24 small objects into as many different rectangles as you can. Each rectangle shows a factor pair.
