Drills
What makes a number prime, why 1 is not, and trial division up to the root.
Author note — to cover
The definition of prime, why 1 is excluded, identifying primes to 50, and testing numbers like 91, 97 and 117 by trial division by primes up to the square root. Prime factorisation lives on the next page; infinitude-of-primes proofs are A level. Both tiers. (N4)
- Fluency — direct questions on primes and testing for primality, limited to this lesson's stated scope (4 questions).
- Application — use the same skill in unfamiliar or contextual questions without introducing a later method (4 questions).
- Check — questions built around the exclusions and likely misconceptions named in the lesson brief (4 questions).
