Goals: Unit Goals: Understand relationships among factors, multiples, divisors, and products • Recognize and use properties of prime and composite numbers, even and odd numbers, • and square numbers Use rectangles to represent the factor pairs of numbers • Develop strategies for finding factors and multiples, least common multiples, and greatest • common factors Recognize and use the fact that every whole number can be written in exactly one way as • a product of prime numbers Use factors and multiples to solve problems and to explain some numerical facts of • everyday life Develop a variety of strategies for solving problems—building models, making lists and • tables, drawing diagrams, and solving simpler problem -The student will be able to determine factors of their special number Lesson Objective: and find the greatest common factor of their special number and another number -The students will be able to generate multiples of their special number and find the least common multiple of their special number and another number -The student will be able to determine factorizations of their special number including the prime factorization -The student will be able to classify their special number as prime or composite, as even or odd and as abundant, deficient or perfect State Standards: 6NJ 4.1.A.7, 6NJ 4.4.D.1, 6NJ 4.5.C.1, 6NJ 4.5.E.1, 6NJ 4.5.A.2 (e.g., Anticipatory Set, Introduce and Model New Knowledge, Provide Guided Methods: Practice, Provide Independent Practice) At the beginning of Prime Time students were asked to pick a number from 3-100. The number is going to be their special number. After each investigation the students are directed to take notes on their special number. The following items are things they should focus on when taking notes. In your notebook: record your number, explain why you chose that • • Number, list three or four mathematical facts about your number, list three or four • • connections you can make between your number and your world After the book is completed the students will choose a way to display the concepts they learned in Prime Time and how they apply to their special number. The projects will be scored using a rubric. Materials Prime Time book Notes on special number Computers Poster board Crayons Markers
