Mrs. Edwards students were in "prime" form today. I loved the way Mrs. Edwards had students complete arrays for several different numbers as their math message and then used these numbers as a jump off for the lesson. After having the students show the different arrays for the numbers on the board, she reminded students that the dimensions for the arrays were also the FACTORS of the number. I LOVE IT! Nice work, Mrs. Edwards! Once the definitions for Prime and Composite numbers were in the students' notes, they went back to those same numbers and decided which numbers were prime and which were composite.
And her smart students are deep thinkers! One student asked about the number 1 and where it fit into the definitions. Through a closer look at both of the definitions, they decided it didn't fit either of them and was "special."
Way to go, Mrs. Edwards! Keep up the great work.
