A Fresh Approach to Prime Numbers.
Hampton, Homer F.
School Science and Mathematics, v79 n1 p59-60 Jan 1979
The introduction of prime numbers in the intermediate grades should be handled with care or the concept will appear arbitrary, artificial, and unreal to the pupils. The approach suggested here is in the form of a game-like activity. A knowledge of multiplication and factors is a prerequisite. (BB)
