Factors, Multiples, and Prime Numbers
Students will identify common factors and multiples, differentiate between prime and composite numbers, and apply these concepts to problem-solving.
Key Questions
- Explain the fundamental relationship between a factor and a multiple of any given number.
- Differentiate between prime and composite numbers using various divisibility rules.
- Analyze how common multiples are essential for solving problems involving cyclical events or patterns.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
