MULTIPLE ACTIVITIES OF A NATURAL NUMBER

Multiple natural number activities teach students to discover what natural numbers are and how to multiply.

A multiple of a natural number is any number that can be obtained by multiplying the natural number by 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc.

It is important for the teacher to ask some questions:

When we divide 10 by 2, is the division exact?

10 is divisible by 2? Because?

When we divide 10 by 3, is the division exact?

10 is divisible by 2? Because?

What is the divisibility by 5 rule?

What is the 6-divisibility rule?

Using computer activities can help children become more interested, as some children find it difficult to do these maths and need to make them feel more interested.

Tell a story:

“Carlinhos's teacher asked the students in the class what an exact division was. All answered that it is a division where the remainder has a value equal to 0. She congratulated everyone. Then the teacher asked the following question:

What are divisors of a natural number? Everyone was silent for a few seconds, until Carlinhos replied:

– Professor, I think that a natural number's divisor is the digits that divide the number into exactly equal parts.

The teacher told Carlinhos that her answer was correct and that she would teach everyone how to discover the divisors of a natural number.”

It is important to inform students that the number 1 is neither prime nor composite as it has only 1 divisor.

Cut out the numbers and paste in your notebook just from the top so that it forms a flap.

Determine the divisors of each number and write them under the tab.

Then paint the prime numbers blue and the composites red.
