All the Factors

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a two-part educational tool designed to enhance students’ understanding of prime and composite numbers. In the first part, students are given a list of five numbers (43, 45, 47, 53, 55) and are instructed to write down the factors for each number, then denote whether it is prime or composite. The second part of the worksheet presents a grid of fifteen numbers where students are asked to circle all the prime numbers. This layout allows students to engage with the material in both an analytical and visual manner.

The worksheet educates students on how to determine the factors of a given number and understand the fundamental difference between prime and composite numbers. By listing factors, students practice their multiplication and division skills to identify the number’s divisibility. Circling prime numbers in the grid promotes quick recognition and recall of prime numbers, which is an essential skill in number theory. The combination of these tasks aims to solidify the students’ ability to classify numbers, a fundamental aspect of mathematics education.
