Factor Frontier at Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park

Factors, Multiples & Prime/Composite Adventure Pack

Snowy peaks tower over Aoraki / Mount Cook, but supply groups are not dividing evenly. Climbing teams are mismatched. Route checkpoints are multiplying unpredictably. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the number structure system. If explorers cannot organize factors and multiples correctly, the expedition could lose its balance.

In Factor Frontier at Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park, students ride the Summit Survey Sled into a high-stakes number mission. To restore order, explorers must identify factors and multiples, determine whether numbers are prime or composite, and build factor pairs. By exploring introductory divisibility rules, finding common factors and common multiples, and investigating GCF and LCM at a foundational level, students stabilize the expedition’s numerical system.

This adventure blends number theory foundations with logical reasoning and strategic thinking.
