Thursday January 5, 2012

Today we will first review the divisibility rules homework from last night. Students seemed to pick up on the divisibility rules quickly so I don't anticipate many problems with the homework. Today we will move on to determining if a number is prime or composite. Depending on how we do with prime and composite, we may introduce factoring today as well.

There has been a slight change in schedule, as we will now be taking our quiz on Monday instead of Friday.
Instead, on Friday we will be starting/ continuing factoring. I will be out of town on Monday, so students will have the entire class period on Monday for their quiz with the substitute. The quiz will cover the following

- Knowing the divisibility rules for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10
- Be able to tell if a given number is divisible by the above numbers
- Determine if a number is a prime or composite number
- Factor a given number

I will post examples of quiz questions by tomorrow
