1. Sept. 5, 2012 Unit 1 UEQ.: Why is it important to know the factors of numbers? Ans.: Skip skip Concept #1 – Arrays and Factor Pairs LEQ: How do I use arrays to represent factor pairs? Ans.: The first factor in a number model represents the number of rows. The second factor represents the amount of columns. The total number of dots equal the product.

2. Sept. 5, 2012 Unit 1 UEQ.: Why is it important to know the factors of numbers? Ans.: I think it is important to know the factors of numbers so that I can solve math problems that involve multiplication and division. Concept #1 – Arrays and Factor Pairs LEQ: How do I use arrays to represent factor pairs? Ans.: The first factor in a number model represents the number of rows. The second factor represents the amount of columns. The total number of dots equal the product.

3. Sept. 5, 2012 Unit 1 Concept #1 – Arrays and Factor Pairs LEQ: How do I use arrays to represent factor pairs? Ans.: The first factor in a number model represents the number of rows. T second factor represents the amount of columns. The total number of dots equal the product.

4. Sept. 12, 2012 Unit 1 Concept # 2 – Prime and Composite LEQ: How do I use divisibility rules to determine prime or composite numbers? Ans.: A prime number has only two factors (1 and itself). I use divisibility rules to see how many factors a number has. e second factor represents the amount of columns. The total number of dots equal the product.

5. Sept. 18, 2012 Unit 1 Concept #3 – Square Numbers & Square Root LEQ: What is the difference between square numbers and square roots? Ans.: A square number is a number times itself. (product) A square root is a number that has 2 equal factors.

6. Sept. 24, 2012 Unit 1 Concept #4 – Factor String LEQ: How do I find prime factorization using factor trees? Ans.: I find prime factorization using factor trees by finding factor pairs. I divide the product until ONLY PRIME numbers are left.
