Prime and Composite Numbers

Description

Composite Number: A positive integer with factors other than 1 and itself. For example, 4 (1, 2, 4), 8 (1, 2, 4, 8), and 24 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24) are composite numbers, while 3 (1, 3), 5 (1, 5), and 13 (1, 13) are prime. This term helps differentiate composite numbers from prime numbers, building a clear framework for understanding how numbers can be classified based on their factors.

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!
