Prime and Composite Numbers

Description

Sieve of Eratosthenes: A method for identifying prime numbers within a given range of numbers by systematically eliminating multiples. For example, within 2 to 20, primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, and 19. This is a classic algorithm for understanding prime numbers and their distribution.

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!
