Beginning with a description that sets the stage, learners are asked to break down the numbers 42 and 63 to find the greatest common denominator using factor trees. As they work through the factoring process, young mathematicians are...

Learners examine the concept of finding the greatest common factor. They complete number of activities as they practice identifying prime and composite numbers. Pupils apply rules of divisibility and find the greatest common factor while...

Find the greatest common factor of numbers. Learners review prime and composite numbers and how to find the prime factorization of a number. They also review the greatest common factor, least common multiple, and learn new ways to find...

For this math instructional activity, students find the greatest common factor of 18 pairs of numbers. Given the prime factorization of pairs of numbers students find the greatest common factor. Students simplify fractions and rational...

Middle schoolers research prime and composite numbers. With a partner, students use graph paper to draw rectangles of various sizes. They list the dimensions of rectangles and discuss how the dimensions relate to the factors of each...

Students explore the concept of prime factorization. In this prime factorization activity, students participate in an activity where they find the prime factorization and greatest common factor of a number derived from their name....

Young scholars find the greatest common factor of two numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students use prime factorization to find their factor to simplify equations. they create a factor tree to find the factors of composite numbers.

Students recognize the difference between a prime and a composite number.  In this prime and composite number lesson, students  use a factor tree model to show prime factorization. Students participate in a bingo activity....

Students use Venn diagrams to solve prime number and factorization problems. In this multiplication lesson, students watch a video and use a Venn Diagram to help them solve a pizza math activity that uses prime factorization. Students...

Young scholars are introduced to the concept of a Greatest Common Divisor. They review the number systems. Students are told how the entire field of Number Theory primarily uses the integers. They are told the Fundamental Theorem of...

Ninth graders factor equations and find prime numbers. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders find the factors and prime factors of a number using multiples and relatively prime numbers.
