Prime Numbers: Eratosthenes' Sieve

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

By offering a step-by-step explanation of how to identify prime numbers, this presentation would be a terrific way to give learners a visual example of prime numbers. This is a simple, and easy way, for students to understand the "why" behind the "what" they are doing in math. A very necessary step for students to be successful in math.
