Musical Chairs

• No more than 2 people at one table who

have been at the same table before.
• I suggest that one person remain at the
table you have been at for the past few
weeks and the rest move, making sure
that there is no more than one person at
your new table with whom you have
previously shared a table.
 Finding factors of a number
• Use the beans to find factors of 24
Count out 24 beans
We know that products can be illustrated
using a rectangular model
Make a rectangle using the beans
What are the numbers you multiply to get 24?
Can you arrange the beans into a different
rectangle?
What product does this represent?
How many different rectangles can you
make?

Count out 11 beans.

How many rectangles can you make with
11 beans?

 Sieve of Eratosthenes
• Eratosthenes was born in Cyrene which is now
in Libya in North Africa in 276 BC. He died in
194 BC.
• Eratosthenes made a surprisingly accurate
measurement of the circumference of the Earth.
• He was also fascinated with number theory, and
he developed the idea of a sieve to illustrate
prime numbers.
 The Sieve of Eratosthenes
• Prime Number
Divisible only by 1 and itself

• Finding prime numbers using the sieve

 Sieve of Eratosthenes
• You will need many different colors. Use one
color for each factor.
• Circle the number “1”. 1 is neither prime nor
composite, as we have seen earlier.
• Now, circle 2. Every multiple of 2 is a composite
number, so put a dot of that color next to all of
the multiples of 2.
• Use a new color. Now, circle 3. Every multiple
of 3 is a composite number, so put a dot of this
new color next to all multiples of 3.
 Sieve of Eratosthenes
• Now, 4 has a dot next to it--it is not prime. Skip
it and move on.
• Use a new color. Circle 5, and then put a dot of
this new color next to all multiples of 5.
• Now, 6 has a dot next to it--it is not prime. Skip
it and move on.
• Continue in this manner up to 11. Then, stop.
 Sieve of Eratosthenes
• Questions to answer:
• When you circled 11, were there any multiples of
11 that did not already have dots next to them?
• Can you explain to a child why this was true?
• What does this have to do with factors and
multiples?
• What are the prime numbers that are between 1
and 100?
• Is 1 a prime number?

 Exploration 4.2
• First, fill in the table on page 85, using the
information on the sieve. It will help if you
write the in pairs. For example, for 18: 1,
18; 2, 9; 3, 6. The order does not matter.
• Next, fill in the table on page 87. Use the
table on page 85 to help.
