The hunt is on! Young mathematicians follow clues and complete a series of ten math puzzles as they try to crack Dr. Integer's code and find the location of his hidden treasure.

in this number theory worksheet, students use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to find all primes up to the number 100. Students follow the directions to circle primes and multiples on the hundred chart.

In this primes and multiples worksheet, students follow the directions to circle primes and multiples on a hundred chart until all prime numbers from 1 to 100 are circled. This is called the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

Students study how to find prime numbers. They investigate the teachings of the mathematician Eratosthenes and apply his theory of prime numbers less than 100.

Students analyze and discuss prime numbers and the Sieve of Eratosthenes, a procedure to sort out prime numbers. They identify the prime numbers from 1-100 by eliminating all the multiples of the first four prime numbers, and circle what...

Third graders listen to information about Eratosthenes and review the definitions: prime, composite, multiples and divisible. They recreate Eratosthenes' method of compiling prime numbers. They create a poster.

Students, just like Eratosthenes, try to use math to calculate immeasurable objects. Teachers need to try out the calculations before having your class do them. They should take notes to be included with their own calculations and drawings.

Eighth graders find information about primes on the Internet. They use directions for Sieve of Eratosthenes to find primes in the first 100 numbers. After a lecture/demo, 8th graders access a website imbedded in this plan to explore...
