Lesson Details
Key learning points
- A square number has an odd number of factors.
- A square number is the product of multiplying a number by itself.
Common misconception
Pupils record the number of factors for a square number as even as they record the same number twice when writing down the factors of the square arrangement.
Highlight the need to only record each number as a factor once. You may like to record this on the tail of the factor bug to help emphasise this.
