The Factor Board from AGN Enterprises is a hands-on mathematics teaching aid designed to help students understand factors, multiples, prime numbers, composite numbers, divisibility, common factors, and number relationships through practical activities. The board provides a visual method for exploring how numbers can be divided and grouped, making factorization concepts easier to understand. It is suitable for primary and middle schools, mathematics laboratories, teacher training institutes, STEM classrooms, and activity-based learning programs.
The Factor Board helps students identify the factors of different numbers through visual and interactive exercises.
A factor is a number that divides another number exactly without leaving a remainder.
For example, the factors of 12 are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12
because:
1 × 12 = 12
2 × 6 = 12
3 × 4 = 12
Students can use the board to investigate factor pairs and understand the relationship between multiplication and division.
The Factor Board can also help students distinguish between prime and composite numbers.
A prime number has exactly two positive factors: 1 and itself.
Examples:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
A composite number has more than two positive factors.
For example:
12 = 1 × 12 = 2 × 6 = 3 × 4
Therefore, 12 is a composite number.
The Factor Board turns factorization into a visual learning activity rather than relying only on written calculations.
Teachers can use the board for activities involving factor pairs, multiples, prime and composite numbers, common factors, divisibility, multiplication, and division.
It can also provide a foundation for understanding Highest Common Factor (HCF), Least Common Multiple (LCM), prime factorization, fractions, and algebraic concepts.
Practical factor activities help develop number sense, mental mathematics, logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills.
AGN Enterprises supplies mathematics teaching aids designed to promote practical, visual, and activity-based education. Our educational products help teachers demonstrate number concepts clearly while encouraging students to explore mathematical relationships independently.
We also provide competitive pricing, institutional and bulk supply, prompt delivery, and support for mathematics laboratory requirements.
