Prime Factorization is critical to encryption programs. I do this activity on day 3 of any secondary math class. It requires 20 minutes of class time.  This activity is a review of concepts and terminology that the students will use throughout the year: Prime numbers, Factoring, Products, Exponents, Factor Tree Answers are provided Targets: Define Prime FactorizationSolve for Prime FactorizationRecognize that prime factorization is used for encryptionTo identify prime number and composite number

Algebra word problem that integrates order of operations, fractions, collecting like terms and multi-step critical thinking. Includes an example I like to use this as an introduction to Algebra II and PreCalculus. I assign it on day 1, for credit and I have it due on day 5. All week long I use the last few minutes of class to revisit the problem and discuss problem solving strategies with the students. It is also appropriate to use as an enrichment activity for PreAlgebra, Algebra 1 and Geometry
