Title: Introduction to Prime Numbers and Factors Grade Level: Year 7 Duration: 1 hour

Objective: - Students will understand the concept of prime numbers and factors. - Students will be able to identify prime numbers and find factors of given numbers.

Materials: - Whiteboard or blackboard - Markers or chalk - Worksheets with numbers for factorization practice - Calculators (optional)

Procedure:

  1. Introduction (5 minutes)
    • Begin the lesson by asking students if they have heard of prime numbers and factors before.
    • Explain that prime numbers are numbers that are divisible only by 1 and themselves, while factors are numbers that divide evenly into another number.
    • Write the definitions of prime numbers and factors on the board.
  2. Prime Numbers (15 minutes)
    • Provide examples of prime numbers (e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7, 11) and explain why they are prime.
    • Ask students to identify if certain numbers are prime or not (e.g., 4, 9, 13, 15).
    • Discuss the concept of composite numbers (numbers that are not prime) and provide examples.
    • Write a list of prime numbers on the board and ask students to identify any patterns they notice.
  3. Factors (20 minutes)
    • Explain that factors are numbers that divide evenly into another number.
    • Demonstrate how to find factors of a given number by listing all the numbers that divide it evenly.
    • Provide examples and ask students to find factors of different numbers (e.g., 12, 18, 24).
    • Introduce the concept of prime factorization by breaking down a number into its prime factors (e.g., 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3).
    • Practice prime factorization with a few more examples.
  4. Group Activity: Factorization (15 minutes)
    • Divide the students into small groups.
    • Distribute worksheets with numbers for factorization practice.
    • Instruct each group to work together to find the prime factors of the given numbers.
    • Circulate the classroom to provide assistance and guidance as needed.
  5. Conclusion (5 minutes)
    • Review the main concepts covered in the lesson: prime numbers and factors.
    • Ask students to share any interesting patterns or observations they made during the activity.
    • Summarize the importance of prime numbers and factors in mathematics and real-life applications.

Note: Adjust the duration of each section based on the pace and engagement of the students.

Now I want to create 3 different versions of this. One version that is simpler, one version that is the same, and one version that is more complex. Format the output in 3 nice sections.
