OBJECTIVE: FACTOR PAIRS: *To recognize that factors come in pairs; *To visualize and represent a factor pair as the dimensions of a rectangle with the given number as its area; *To determine whether a number is PRIME or COMPOSITE, EVEN or ODD, and SQUARE or NONSQUARE based on its FACTOR PAIRS; *To develop an informal sense of how many factors must be checked to be sure all the factors of a number have been found. ACTIVITIES:(P27 Pr 3.2) Continuation of developing factor pair posters. 6 groups + a group to make the large poster displays. NOTES: The ace questions are scored only for last Thursdays Pull outs. HOMEWORK:

OBJECTIVE: See 10-9 ACTIVITIES:[Distribute Progress Report #2] Finish up the posters for 3.2 and have students answer and write down pagw 28, Problem 3.2 follow-up questions 1-4. Time permitting, do 3.3 intro NOTES: Discuss SQUARE NUMBERS HOMEWORK: Define SQUARE NUMBERS and draw models for the square numbers found in the numbers 1-100

OBJECTIVE: See 10-9 ACTIVITIES: Investigation 3.3 - Reasoning with Odd and Even Numbers (p28ff). Include the notion of SQUARE NUMBERS and time permitting relate square numbers to functions vs operations. NOTES: Describe and model CONJECTURES. Discuss CONSECUTIVE HOMEWORK: Define CONSECUTIVE Page 32 26 and 27 These require EXPLANATIONS - not lists of numbers.

OBJECTIVE: See 10-9 ACTIVITIES: Do page 33 28-30. Modify question 30 to include: Choose 3 numbers between 900 and 1000: 1-prime(2 factors) 1 with 4 factors; 1 with more than 4 factors. NOTES: HOMEWORK: TE 124 #7

TE124#7 You can model an even number with a rectangle made of two identical rows of tiles. So, 10 would be 2 rows of 5 tiles. You can model an odd number with two rows of tiles in which one row has one more tile then the other row. For example, 11 would be a row of 5 tiles and a row of 6 tiles. Use this idea to help you make and justify CONJECTURES about whether each result will be odd or even: a) an even number times an even number b) an even number times an odd number c) an odd number times an odd number.
