Topic

Prime and Composite Numbers

Description

Modular Arithmetic with Primes: Modular arithmetic where the modulus is a prime number. It is often used in encryption. For example, 37 - 24 ≡ 2 (mod 11). This highlights the relationship between primes and modular systems, key in secure communications.

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!
