Prime and Composite Numbers

Description

Coprime: Also referred to as relatively prime, two integers are coprime if their only common factor is 1. For instance, 9 (1, 3, 9) and 22 (1, 2, 11, 22) are coprime even though they are not prime numbers. This term introduces a nuanced classification of numbers, highlighting the relationships between integers based on their factors rather than their individual properties.

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!
