* Mathland Project: Number Project Example * If you arrange the natural numbers in a hexagonal pattern, and colour in the prime numbers, they form a pattern where the prime numbers greater than 3 radiate from the 1 and 5 sections only. This program checks natural numbers (390 at a time) for primes & plots them in the hexagon (prime in blue, non-prime in green). Push space bar when asked to check the next set of numbers... Enjoy!
This is an example number project exploring primes and geometry. In case you need Ontario curricular justification, coding projects engage all the mathematical processes. This project demonstrates learning in: prime and composite numbers, factors, algebraic and algorithmic thinking, geometry and spatial sense, 2D figures, coordinate geometry, variables, integers, operational sense.
