Learning goals
- We are learning to express numbers as products of their factors, identify multiples and apply divisibility rules to large numbers.
- We are learning to create and use algorithms using multiple steps to experiment with factors, multiples and divisibility and identify and describe emerging patterns.
- We are learning to identify and describe factors and multiples of whole numbers and use them to solve problems.
