Prime and Composite Numbers

Description

Divisibility by 2: A number is divisible by 2 if it is even or the digit in the ones place is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. For example, 28, 56, 112, and 232 are divisible by 2. This basic divisibility rule sets the foundation for understanding how even numbers relate to factors and primes.

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!
