Divisibility Rules - Intro

This math unit begins with practice on basic divisibility rules, where students learn to determine if one number is divisible by another. The unit explores these rules through various difficulty levels, progressively increasing the depth of understanding required. Initially, the focus is on simple yes/no applications of divisibility, using different conditions to familiarize students with the concept in straightforward scenarios. The difficulty level then advances with medium complexity tasks that require a deeper comprehension of divisibility rules. As the unit progresses, students delve into prime factorization—distinguishing whether a number is a factor of other numbers by analyzing their prime factors in both values and variables. This segment of the unit emphasizes understanding the factorization, identification of common factors, and engagement with the greatest common factor (GCF). It culminates with targeted practice on determining if integers are common factors of pairs of numbers, consolidating students' skills in prime factorization, and providing a foundational understanding of factor relations vital for higher-level mathematics.Skills you will learn include:

• Divisibility rules
• Working with digits of numbers in multiplication
• Factorization
