Prime and Composite Numbers

Description

Even Composite Numbers: The number 2 is the only even prime number. All other even numbers are composite. For example, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are even composite numbers. This highlights a key exception and provides a framework for classifying even numbers in relation to primes.

The mathematics behind this topic provides a foundation for understanding how numbers interact with one another. By exploring the patterns and properties of prime and composite numbers, students can develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Teacher's Script: Let’s explore an important concept that involves classifying numbers based on their factors. This concept will help us understand how numbers are built and how they can be broken down into their basic building blocks. Pay attention to the visuals and explanations to see how these ideas connect to everyday math!
