This lesson focuses on categorizing numbers based on the number of factors they possess. Students are encouraged to explore different numbers through various activities, including turn-and-talk discussions about characteristics of specific numbers, whiteboard checks for writing and reasoning about factors, and collaborative problem-solving tasks that involve finding factor pairs. Emphasis is placed on identifying prime and composite numbers, discussing patterns in factors, and justifying reasoning through group discussions and visual representations. The lesson encourages active participation, critical thinking, and peer collaboration to enhance understanding of number properties.
