Watford, M Tech Review Standards
Standards:
The activity requires that students fill out a table listing the proper factors of numbers 1-16. Later, students can do the same for numbers 1-100. While this activity does not completely address all of these standards, it does provide a good introduction or review lesson for concepts involving prime numbers or factoring such as finding the greatest common divisor. When introducing factoring polynomials, this activity would be a useful supplement so that students develop a broader definition of factors.
MCC.4.OA.4 Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1–100. Recognize that a whole
number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range
1–100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the
range 1–100 is prime or composite.
MCC6.NS.4 Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to
100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use
the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common
factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor.
MCC9‐12.A.SSE.3a Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP5 Use appropriate tools strategically.
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP7 Look for and make use of structure.
