Excel Interactive Resource: Multiples Chain
Age 11 to 16
Challenge Level
Although this interactive resource could be used just to reinforce
vocabulary, I prefer to use it as a dynamic prop to support
classroom questioning.
- What's the largest number that a blue cell can hold?
- If the start value is 10 and the end value is 100, how many
chains can be made?
- Which pair of start and end values give the largest number of
possible chains?
- What is the highest start number that still makes a chain?
- What is the lowest end number that still makes a chain?
The Files
There are two versions of this Interactive Resource:
A
three
value chain and a
four value
chain
(Standard click-select will open these Excel files, but to download
the files to your own machine: right-click on the link, and choose
Save Target As . . . )
Change the values in each blue cell until you have a complete chain
of multiples.
