During this class students will build a fundamental understanding of what factoring is. Lego bricks, as well as numerous other real world objects will be used to 'lift the veil' on the mystery that is often factoring. Identifying the greatest common factor (GCF) of a set of numbers will finish the class. This class is an excellent prerequisite to 'Simplifying Fractions'. It is a critical component to mathematics from fourth through twelfth grade mathematics. The ability to count by numbers 2 through 12 as well as solid multiplication skills are recommended for success.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to successfully:
- Find the factors of one and two digit numbers
- Identify the Greatest Common Factor in a given set of numbers.
