AC9M5N10
create and use algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions and digital tools to experiment with factors, multiples and divisibility; identify, interpret and describe emerging patterns
Elaborations
- AC9M5N10_E1creating algorithms that use multiplication and division facts to determine if a number is a multiple or factor of another number; for example, using a flow chart that determines whether numbers are factors or multiples of other numbers using branching, such as yes/no decisions
- AC9M5N10_E2identifying lowest common multiples and highest common factors of pairs or triples of natural numbers; for example, the lowest common multiple of {6, 9} is 18, and the highest common factor is 3; the lowest common multiple of {3, 4, 5} is 60 and the highest common factor is one
- AC9M5N10_E3using the “fill down” function of a spreadsheet and a multiplication formula to generate a sequence of numbers that represent the multiples of any number you enter into the cell; describing and explaining the emerging patterns
