Help.
We tried starting with 284 looking for factors, and adding each number on and then looking for factors. We would really appreciate some help and a method to give us some direction.

I play a game on this principle with my pupils.
Using a pack of cards turn up 2 cards to make a 2 digit number (or 3 digits if first card is a picture card.)
Lay out 5 more cards underneath and then try to make the target number using those 5 numbers once only .
Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't but it does get you thinking about and using number bonds and times tables. Good to compare how you both got to the number too.
You can play it as a contest 3 points for spot on, 2 points if +or - 1 , 1 point if within 5 of target
