Factors
I can find factors of a number.
Multiples
I can find multiples of a number.
Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
I can find the greatest common factor of two or more numbers.
Least Common Multiple (LCM)
I can find the least common multiple of two or more numbers.
Prime Factorization
I can find the prime factorization of a number.
Square, Prime, and Composite Numbers
I can identify square, prime, and composite numbers.
Order of Operations
I can evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents. This means that when numbers are joined together by operations (+, -, x, /), I can use "order of operations" rules to make them simpler.
Distributive Property
I can use the distributive property to evaluate numerical expressions. This means that when numbers are joined together by multiplication and parentheses, I can use the distributive property to make them simpler.

- Once you slice a composite number, two factors will appear. If either of those factors is a composite number, slice it to earn more points! For example, 20 is a composite number. Two factors are 4 and 5. Could you slice either the 4 or 5 to earn more points? How do you know?

- Don't worry if you come across negative numbers here. We'll study those later in the year. The point of this activity is correctly identifying which operation comes first according to "order of operations" rules.

- When multiplied together, a negative number and a postive number become negative. For example, -5 x 3 = -15. 7 x -m = -7m.
- When multiplied together, two negative numbers become positive. For example, -9 x -8 = -72. -6 x -b = 6b.
