Factors and Multiples

Strand: Number
Outcome: 3

Step 1: Identify Outcomes to Address

Guiding Questions

  • What do I want my students to learn?
  • What can my students currently understand and do?
  • What do I want my students to understand and be able to do, based on the Big Ideas and specific outcomes in the program of studies?

Strand: Number

Grade 5

Grade 6

Grade 7

Specific Outcomes

3.

Apply mental mathematics strategies and number properties, such as: 

  • skip counting from a known fact
  • using doubling or halving
  • using patterns in the 9s facts
  • using repeated doubling or halving

to determine, with fluency, answers for basic multiplication facts to 81 and related division facts.

 
 

Specific Outcomes

3.

Demonstrate an understanding of factors and multiples by:

  • determining multiples and factors of numbers less than 100
  • identifying prime and composite numbers
  • solving problems using multiples and factors.
 

Specific Outcomes

1.

Determine and explain why a number is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, and why a number cannot be divided by 0.

5.

Demonstrate an understanding of adding and subtracting positive fractions and mixed numbers, with like and unlike denominators, concretely, pictorially and symbolically (limited to positive sums and differences).

Big Ideas

  • Factors, multiples, primes and composites are all natural numbers. Since zero is included in the set of whole numbers, zero cannot be a factor, a multiple, a prime number or a composite number.
