We say that the numbers 3 and 4 are factors of 12. the number 12 is a multiple of 3 and a multiple of 4.

Tile Activity

• Can you write a division sentence about your rectangle?

• Where are the factors and multiples in your number sentence?

Tile Activity

• What other rectangle can you make with 12 tiles?

• What factors and multiples does your new rectangle illustrate?

Tile Activity

• Using your 12 tiles make a rectangle with a length of 7.

• Does it work?• Is 7 a factor of 12?• Is 12 a multiple of 7?• Try use your 12 tiles to make a rectangle with

a length of 5. Do you think it will work? Why?

Tile Activity

• What are ALL the rectangles you can make with 12 tiles?

• What are ALL the factors of 12?

Tile Activity

• On another day, do a similar activity with 20 tiles, 24, 30, 36, 48. Try the same activity with 13 tiles.
