Not a Prime

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a multiple-choice quiz focusing on prime and composite numbers. Each question provides a set of four numbers, and students must circle the correct answer according to the question prompt. The questions vary, asking students to identify numbers that are not prime, those that are composite, as well as specific categories such as odd composite numbers, even prime numbers, and non-composite numbers. The format tests students’ understanding of number classification and their ability to differentiate between prime and composite numbers.

The worksheet is designed to teach students critical thinking skills in the context of number theory. It challenges them to apply their knowledge of the properties that define prime and composite numbers. Students must also recognize even and odd numbers, and discern the exceptions in these categories. The exercise not only reinforces their understanding of the mathematical concepts but also encourages attention to detail and careful analysis of number properties.
