Building Number Sequences

Buliding number sequences aren't very easy but when you go into these pages you will understand it a little better because we mix it with amusement parks!

What is prime number?
It is a number that is only divisible evenly by two numbers-itself and one.

What is a factor?
A whole number that can be evenly divided into another whole number.

What is LCM?
Lcm is the least common multiple, it is the least common multiple of a number.

What is GCF?
GCF is the greatest common factor, it is the greatest common factor of a number.

What is a factor tree?
A diagram that shows how a whole number breaks down all the way to its prime factor

What is a multiple?
The product of a whole given number and another whole given number.
Example: 7x3=21 therefore 21 is a multiple of 7 and 3

Divisibility rules
2- if the ones digit ends in 0,2,4,6, or 8
3- if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3
4- if the ones digit ends in 0,2,4,6, or 8
5- if the ones digit is 5 or 0
6- if the number is divisble by 2 and 3
8- if the number formed by the last 3 digits is divisble by 3
9- if the sum of all the digits is divisble by 9
10- if the ones digit is a 0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunshine State Standards 6-8

Mathematics/Number Sense, Concepts and Operations

Standard 5: The student understands and applies theories related to numbers (MA.A.5.3).

Objective 1: Uses concepts about numbers, including primes, factors, and multiples, to build number sequences.

Amusement Park Activity

Park Counter- Next time your in a line for a ride count the number of people and find the GCF.

 

Brainstorming Fun

Day Finder- Find any uses you
have for GCF and LCM during the
day. Did you expect these results?

Vocabulary

Concept-a general understanding,
especially one deribved from
specifac instances or occurences

Factor-one of two or more quanitie
-s having a desiganted product

Multiple-a quanity into which not
her quanity may be divided with
zero remainder

Prime-a number that can only be
divided by zero and itself

Sequence-a following of one thing
after another
