Abstract

So-Soo-Yoo is a board game based on a number line of integers with each number represented by its prime factors. Optimum movement in the game is analyzed through reachability sets. We discuss how the game can be used to explore multiplication tables, powers, factors and prime numbers. We suggest So-Soo-Yoo could be a useful tool for teachers or students interested in reinforcing these concepts.
