I found this brilliant website via Pinterest. It is a great way to practise prime factor decomposition and it allows pupils to either be creative or use a timed challenge.

I particularly like the fact that you can generate as many base and power boxes as you want, as opposed to similar games where you are given a rigid structure to complete – pupils are allowed to try their answer and be wrong, rather than see their answer doesn’t fit and just give up.
