Finding Factor Pairs Using a T Chart

The video tutorial explains how to find all factor pairs of a number using a T-chart. It begins by defining factors and illustrating the concept with examples. The commutative property of multiplication is discussed, emphasizing that factors can be listed in any order. Common mistakes in listing factor pairs are highlighted, such as forgetting that a number is a factor of itself. The tutorial then demonstrates using a T-chart to systematically find factor pairs, using the number 12 as an example. The process involves listing factors in sequence and checking for completeness.
