Unit 3 Vocab - Math


Our mathematicians are working very hard on their "Number Talks"...the conversations we have to share our thinking and processing during problem solving.  Here are some important vocabulary words your child can practice at home:

multiples - the pattern of products 


factor - any number, when multiplied by another, that results in a product

composite - a number with more than one factor pair 

prime - a number that has only 2 factors 

composite - a number that has more than 2 factors 

multiples - the sequence of products of any number 

multiples* - can be found using skip counting  (*this is the strategy, not the definition*)

composite - a number that can be represented using more than 2 arrays 

array - a visual representation of a multiplication number sentence 

product - the answer to a multiplication problem
