This document provides a lesson plan for a 6th grade math lesson on recognizing prime, composite, and factors of numbers. The plan outlines the following structure: 1) Students will enter and write the objective in their planners (5 minutes). 2) The teacher will model recognizing factors using a data chart with different colored blocks (10 minutes). 3) Students will complete a factor poster in groups and play a factor game (10 minutes). 4) Students will be introduced to the test for the next day.
