Prime Numbers and the Sieve of Eratosthenes

In this video, the teacher introduces the final lesson on factors and multiples, focusing on prime and composite numbers. Using a 100 chart, students learn to identify prime numbers through the Sieve of Eratosthenes. The video provides step-by-step instructions and discusses the characteristics of prime and composite numbers. The lesson concludes with a brief homework assignment to reinforce the concepts.
