Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 Test

This is the Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 test which Period 1, 2,4, 6, and 7 will take on Monday.
NOTE: NONE of these questions have been created by me. ALL questions are taken from state standardized tests released questions. Therefore, they should be very authentic in terms of what students should expect to see on the FCAT.
Another NOTE: Learn and grow. I realized that the chapter 1 test was far too taxing on the students who took it. Therefore, this test is much shorter. I hope this allows students to forego a feeling of being overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of the task set before them and they can do their very best for each question.

Multiplying Decimals

This teacher always does an excellent job of explaining math.
The rules are written out at the end of the video.

This video is included because if you watch it and the video below you can learn two different ways to solve the exact same problem.

This video features the exact same problem as above, but using the lattice method of multiplication (AL-I included this for you! Something you taught me in class that you imported from your school in NY.) Fast paced.

Prime Numbers

How can I tell if a number is prime?
Solve the Sieve of Eratosthenes:

Directions:
1. Use the hundreds worksheet with numbers from 1 to 100.
2. Use a highlighter to color in the number 1. It is NOT a prime number.
3. The number 2 is a prime number. Only 2 x 1 = 2.
Do NOT highlight the number 2.
4. Color in with a highlighter ALL of the multiples of 2. Remember Do NOT highlight 2. Begin with 4, 6, 8, 10, etc. To find these numbers skip count by 2.
5. DO NOT highlight the number 3. 3 is a prime number. ONLY 3 x 1 = 3.
6. Color in with a highlighter ALL of the multiples of 3 or every third number after three. 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, etc.
7. DO NOT highlight the number 5. 5 is a prime number. ONLY 5 x 1 = 5.
8. Color in with a highlighter ALL of the multiples of 5 beginning with the number 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.
9. DO NOT highlight 7.
10. Color in with a highlighter ALL of the multiples of 7 beginning with the number 14, 21, 28, etc.
IF you have highlighted your worksheet correctly, all of the non-highlighted numbers are prime numbers. All of the highlighted numbers are composite numbers.

You can check to see if your worksheet is correct at the end of this blog post.

Prime Factorization

How to find the prime factors of a number (called prime factorization)

TEACHERS: This site has a great bulletin board for prime factorization called Mt. Factor:
Math work stations/bulletin board ideas
http://faculty.kutztown.edu/schaeffe/BulletinBoards/bbs.html
Great upper-level math bulletin board ideas each with purposeful, engaging content; interactivity; and accessibility. Could be used for math work stations as well.
