 * Logistics**
 * Unit 5: Factors, Patterns, and Multiples
 * Grade Level: 6th
 * Subject: Middle Grades Remedial Math (6-8)
 * Duration: 7-10 days

Students will gain a deeper understanding of concepts and applications of number theory. The students will use their knowledge of the concepts of odd and even numbers, and prime and composite numbers as well as a strong foundation for understanding and applying multiples and factors. They will extend this concept to include greatest common factors and least common multiples which in turn will build a deep understanding of the Fundament Theorem of Arithmetic.
 * Goals:**

Technology Standard:
 * Describe and illustrate a content-related concept or process using a model, simulation, or concept mapping software.
 * Gather data, examine patterns, and appy information for decision making using digital tools and resources.

Content Standard: M6N1. Students will understand the meaning of the four arithmetic operations as related to positive rational numbers and wiool use theseconcepts to solve problems. a. Apply factors and multiples. b. Decompose numbers into their prime factorization. c. Determine the greatest common factor and the least common multiple for a set of numbers.

Prerequisite Skills: a. Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. b. Prime and composite numbers. c. Factors and multiples

Objectives:
 * Students should be able to find all the factors of a number by constructing or drawing arrays.
 * Students should be able to list all the factors of any given number and discuss how they know that the number is prime, composite, or neither.
 * Students should be able to determine the greatest common factor of two or more numbers and offer situations in which it would be useful to know common and greatest common factors of two or more numbers.
