Missing Composite Values
Worksheet Description
This worksheet is divided into two sections, both designed to reinforce the understanding of prime and composite numbers. In the first section, students are instructed to write down all the composite numbers that fall between pairs of multiples of ten. The second section contains a series of equations with a missing element, which students must fill in using only prime numbers. Both parts require the students to apply their knowledge of number classification and arithmetic operations involving primes.
The worksheet aims to teach students how to identify composite numbers within a specific range and to reinforce the concept that composite numbers have more than two factors. In the second section, the focus is on utilizing prime numbers to complete basic arithmetic equations, thereby enhancing students’ operational skills with primes. This exercise encourages students to actively differentiate between prime and composite numbers and to use primes in mathematical calculations. It also helps to solidify their understanding of the fundamental properties that define prime and composite numbers.
