Understand there is more to numbers than what is at first seen

Students can think of the idea that numbers are made up of smaller numbers and then can reason that they can “build” any number from their primes.

Help to give a good example of these patterns by showing the structure

Understanding prime factorization helps students understand that all numbers are built from similar building blocks, but they are all built in a unique combination of those building blocks.

It’s like in music how songs can have similar chord progressions but be completely different genres or tones.

We can break down numbers and maybe see the similarities between the prime factorization of two different numbers, this comes into play with finding GCF and LCM or 2, 3, etc numbers

Students knowing prime factorization follows an algorithm allows them to see a particular way to understand numbers as a whole.

We see this in the real world such as coding since numbers are written to be prime in the 1 and 0s. Hannah, we toll e115 together I don’t think you remember either.

In art a finished product is made up of many strokes from the brush

Understanding prime factorization helps students see structure and patterns in numbers because they would be able to understand that all numbers can be built by prime numbers, which gives the same structure to all numbers greater than 1. We see patterns like this in biology where cells are like the building blocks of life.

Prime factorization can help students see that all numbers greater than one are made of a pattern/sequence of prime factors. A real world example would be DNA, where the strands of DNA are made from sequences of building blocks. We all have different sequences in our dna but they are made of the same building blocks.

They can understand that there are relation(ships) between numbers.

1. Prime factorization helps me see how numbers are built and find patterns between them.

see patterns like that in music beats, art designs, and coding loops.
