Prime Factorization

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Factoring is an important math skill, and it's often quite confusing for youngsters. This presentation does a good job of showing the basic skills and vocabulary needed to begin to understand this important process. Prime numbers, composite numbers, and prime factorization are all covered, and there's an ample supply of practice problems for learners to try their hands at. Very good!
