Definition of Prime Number
Please check the link again. The definition is clearer now. You should also review the definition of prime number on www.brainpop.com. It is clear.
Read the comments from October 10. Can you write a comment that will clear up the misunderstanding of factors of a prime number?

Hey Mrs. Burke,
I checked out the new definition. It made more sense (although I already knew what a prime number was, the other defenition was more inaccurate).
See you tomorrow!

Mrs. Burke,
I think I did pretty well on the quiz, but we'll just have to wait and see. I will be shadowing on Thursday, so tomorrow, could you please give me the classwork and homework for Tuesday? I couldn't find the definition of a prime number on Brain Pop though I did understand the other def. from the link. However the link didn't explain why negative numbers can't be prime, though I do understand wiesej's definition very well. (Good job wiesej!)
I also had another question about the hw from Mon. Ms.Hogan said that you wanted us to write a sentence for each problem and write why the answer was positive or negative. But did you want us to write a sentence for each of the 42 problems? (43 and 44 are not about pos. and neg answers)
I'll talk to you tomorrow!
AMS
Thank you, AMS!
Dylen, Whether a number is written as a fraction or a decimal does not matter. What is important is that the product of a number and its reciprocal equals zero.
Dear Mrs. Burke,
A prime number is a positive integer greater than one with exactly two POSITIVE integer factors, one and itself. For example, 3 is a prime number because it is a positive integer with only two positive integer factors, 1 and 3. Negative numbers cannot be prime because they would have NEGATIVE integers.
