Special Number ProjectBy Friday, you should have a draft of your project typed up.  We will do some peer editing in class on Friday, so make sure to bring in a copy of what you have.  

Pick a number as your “special number” - it should be between 50 and 200.

Spend 10 minutes writing about it mathematically.  Your writing can be in note form or in the form of calculations.  Think about all the topics we have studied in this unit.  You can look in your Prime Time or in your math journal to help you get ideas.  Consider writing about some of these topics:

1. Prime
2. Square
3. Even/Odd
4. Divisibility rules
5. Factors
6. Multiples
7. Factor Pairs
8. Factor Rainbow
9. Factorization
10. Prime Factorization
11. GCF
12. LCM
13. Cycles problems
14. Sharing problems

Finish Problem 4.1 if you didn’t finish it in class.
