194- Exploring Divisibility: A Central Concept throughout the Curriculum

Friday, October 21, 2011: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
Room 419 (Atlantic City Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Jay L. Schiffman

NCTM's Standards indicate the importance of primes, factors, and multiples. This hands-on workshop will explore divisibility through base-ten pieces, color tiles, a computer algebra system, and modular arithmetic. It will delve deeper into divisibility ideas in the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences, using congruences to furnish proofs for divisiblity.
