Fifth graders examine prime and composite numbers and prime factorization. They define prime and composite numbers, view a teacher demonstration, then demonstrate prime factorization using small squares of construction paper.
Here is a prime factorization worksheet which invites learners to complete factor trees and use exponents when possible to write the prime factorization. They solve nine problems.
In this prime factorization worksheet, learners review associated vocabulary, then practice by answering questions about a given factor tree, then drawing a factor tree and answering questions relating to it. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.
In this prime factorization worksheet, students solve 7 multiple choice problems. Students find the prime factorization of 91, 84, 78, 70, 67,63, and 36.
Use this pre-algebra review worksheet to have learners answer twenty-one multiple choice and free-response problems covering: Scientific Notation, radicals, irrational numbers, prime factorization, GCF, and laws of exponents problems.
In this primes and prime factors learning exercise, 8th graders solve 21 different problems to include identifying each number as prime, composite, or neither prime nor composite and listing all the primes less than 200. Then they complete each of 4 factor trees shown and write the number as the product of prime numbers. Students also determine the GCF and LCM of various number.
Students factor numbers using a factor tree. For this prime factorization lesson, students define prime numbers and how to factor prime numbers. They factor and reduce numbers using number sense.
Middle and high schoolers solve 20 short answer and multiple choice problems. They simplify exponential expressions, find the GCF of two integers, find the prime factorization of an integer, solve equations and inequalities, etc.
In this finding factors instructional activity, students practice finding all the factors of 24 in twenty word equations and then find the prime factorization in ten equations.
Fifth graders review the concept of prime factorization. Then, they use the rules for divisibility and other notions to find the prime factorization of unfamiliar numbers. They solve problems in a whole class setting.
