We have been learning about prime factorisation, recognising prime numbers and factoring equations to get to the prime root.  Some children were so keen to complete written tasks that they continued into their computer game time!

P5 have been exploring prime and composite numbers. They have been discussing which numbers have only 2 factors – those are prime numbers.  All the others with more than 2 factors are composite numbers.

We have also been looking for all the factors of given numbers up to and beyond 100.
