Prime and Composite Numbers
Description
Factor Tree: A visualization tool to break a number into its factors, which can be used to create a prime factorization. For example, 24 = 23 * 3. This tool helps students visually decompose numbers into their prime components.
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!
