About the Build a Factor Tower Worksheet

Build a Factor Tower combines mathematical learning with creative play by using LEGO-style blocks to teach factor relationships. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Build a Factor Tower presents an innovative approach to understanding factors, prime numbers, and composite numbers. Students use virtual LEGO blocks to construct towers showing factor pairs, with an example demonstrating how the number 8 can be broken down into its factors (1,8 and 2,4).

The worksheet features a bright yellow color scheme with clean, engaging visuals of LEGO-style blocks. Students are given empty tower templates where they can drag and arrange number blocks to discover factor relationships. After building each factor tower, students must determine whether the given number is prime or composite, reinforcing their understanding of these important mathematical concepts. The interactive nature of building towers makes abstract mathematical concepts more concrete and accessible.
