Find the mathematical expression from a series of guesses and clues. This is the numerical version of the extremely popular internet sensation Wordle and UK TV quiz show called Lingo.
Transum's Three Way Challenge
As the title suggests there are exactly three different ways to complete the nine levels of this challenge. Simply changing the order in which the digits are multiplied together is not recognised as a different way.
This activity may be a good way to practise using your knowledge of prime factors and combining those factors in different ways to produce the three solutions required.
Please let us all know how your students get on with this activity by sharing your observations in the white comment box below.
You can earn a Transum trophy for each level you complete.

"Being able to find the prime factors of a number may help you with this activity. The list of prime factors is a list of the basic building blocks of the number and you can combine some of these prime factors to make the four factors required (determined by the available buttons). You also have a button with one on it which is not prime so that should be remembered when combining the prime factors."
