The Divisibility Chain

The Divisibility Chain is a Grade 4 team relay for testing numbers with divisibility rules from 2 through 8. Each student in the chain is assigned one divisor, records whether the shared number is divisible by that value, and passes the number onward. The sequence turns several individual rules into one complete classification of the number.

Use it for small-group or whole-class review when students are learning divisibility rules and need to apply them quickly. Because each student is responsible for one divisor, the team depends on accurate reasoning at every step.
