T-Chart Factors
I have been teaching factors for a long time now, and it wasn’t until I came across a picture on Pinterest that I had an Ah-ha moment! The T-chart! Why have I never thought of this before? I have always modeled finding factors by listing them horizontally. Today, I used this with my 4th grade students and they got the hang of it pretty quick. It was a GREAT visual!

What an awesome idea to help them go through all of their numbers. Thanks for sharing!
This is how I do factors in my class - the textbook always shows the rainbow method, but I never liked it. I think the T-chart way is more effective in helping students see the pairs of numbers and working through the list of factors.
