In this unit, you will learn the very basic of number theory.
Life is full of patterns, but often times, we do not realize as much as we should that mathematics too is full of patterns
If I show you the following list: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,...
You may immediately conclude that the next number after 10 is 12.
If I show you also the following list:
2 times 1, 2 times 2, 2 times 3, 2 times 4,...
What's come next?
Exploring number patterns can really help you develop a strong understanding of mathematics concepts. It is my desire that you develop a love for this topic and others to come.
In this unit, you will explore some other interesting patterns while I teach the following topics:
Identify prime and composite numbers.
Find least common multiple
find greatest common factor.
Find multiples for a given number
Divisibility tests
To use sets of numbers to find and describe number patterns
