Mystery Number Questions

Create a mystery number problem using integers.   Use these ideas for developing your clues.  Begin by picking a number between -100 and 100

• Odd or even?
• Is it a positive or negative number?
• Is it a square number
• Can you name some of the factors?
• More or less than a number?
