Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a list of 30 numbers, ranging from 11 to 90, presented in a two-column format. Students are tasked with identifying each number as either prime or composite and writing the corresponding word on the provided line next to each number. The worksheet is straightforward and focuses solely on the classification of numbers without requiring students to list factors or provide additional information. It is structured to allow for quick responses, facilitating either a review or a test of the student’s understanding of prime and composite numbers.

The worksheet’s educational objective is to help students practice the identification and differentiation of prime and composite numbers. It reinforces the definition of prime numbers, which have exactly two distinct positive divisors, and composite numbers, which have more than two. This activity serves as a way for students to apply their knowledge of divisibility and to enhance their number sense. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive review of numbers within a range that students are likely to encounter in elementary mathematics.
