Basic number theory

Get a strong understanding of the very basic of number theory

.

Life is full of patterns, but often times, we do not realize as much as we should that mathematics too is full of patterns

If I show you the following list: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,...

You may immediately conclude that the next number after 10 is 12.

If I show you also the following list:

2 times 1, 2 times 2, 2 times 3, 2 times 4,...

What's come next?

Exploring number patterns can really help you develop a strong understanding of mathematics concepts. It is my desire that you develop a love for this topic and others to come.

In this unit, you will explore some other interesting patterns while I teach the following topics:

Identify prime and composite numbers.

Find least common multiple

find greatest common factor.

Find multiples for a given number

Divisibility tests

To use sets of numbers to find and describe number patterns
