This Prime Numbers List from 1-100 can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home.
Prime numbers appear regularly in the maths curriculum. Mainly students need to be able to recognise them but they can also be useful when thinking about divisibility, factors and multiples and prime factors.
Suggested uses:
Print individual copies to stick into exercise books
Print and laminate to use as a mini whiteboard (with a pen)
Crop the image into a slideshow presentation
Crop the image into an interactive slide
Print, laminate and pin to a display board
BONUS ACTIVITY:
Create a piece of artwork that represents the prime numbers up to 20 or 100. Explain how this helps you remember the prime numbers to your partner / the class.
