Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Elementary Secondary Education, Instruction
Peer reviewedHampton, Homer F. – School Science and Mathematics, 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)
