Number Sense & Place Value
📅 Week 1Place value, divisibility rules, prime & composite numbers, prime factorization, GCF and LCM — the building blocks of all number work in Grade 7.
Big Ideas
- Every digit has a specific place value — changing one digit can dramatically change a number's value.
- Divisibility rules are shortcuts rooted in our base-ten number system.
- Every whole number > 1 is either prime (exactly 2 factors) or composite (more than 2).
- Prime factorization gives every composite number a unique set of building blocks.
- GCF and LCM connect number sense to real-world situations like sharing and scheduling.
