Erathostenes Sieve

The Sieve of Eratosthenes is an ancient method for finding all primes numbers up to a specified number.

It was created by Eratosthenes (275-194 B.C., Greece), an ancient Greek mathematician. Just as a sieve is a strainer for draining spaghetti, Eratosthenes's sieve drains out composite numbers and leaves prime numbers behind. The numbers from 1 to 100 are listed in a table. We will use The Sieve of Eratosthenes to find all primes up to the number 100 by following the directions below.

Directions:

  1. Cross out 1 since it is not prime.
  2. Circle 2 because it is the smallest prime number. Cross out every multiple of 2.
  3. Circle the next open number, 3. Now cross out every multiple of 3.
  4. Circle the next open number, 5. Now cross out every multiple of 5.
  5. Circle the next open number, 7. Now cross out every multiple of 7.
  6. Continue this process until all numbers in the table have been circled or crossed out.
You have just circled all the prime numbers from 1 to 100!


Questions:

1. How many prime numbers are there from 1 to 100?
2. List all prime numbers from 1 to 100.
3. Which number is the only even prime number?
4. An emirp (prime spelled backwards) is a prime that gives you a different prime when its digits are reversed. For example, 13 and 31 are emirps. List all emirps between 1 and 100.

Enjoy it!

Divisibility Rules

Here it is the Power Point presentation done in Math class in the European Section in 1º ESO. We divided the class in groups of 2 or 3 people, then each group worked on a divisibility rule. We put everything together and here it is the result, I hope you like it.

Aquí está la presentación que elaboramos en la clase de Matemáticas de la Sección Europea de 1º ESO. Dividimos la clase en grupos de 2 ó 3 personas, y cada grupo trabajó en una regla de divisibilidad. Juntamos todos los materiales y aquí está el resultado, espero que os guste.

TUTANKHAMON´S TOMB EXPOSITION

Our pupils from the 1st and 2nd year of ESO visited Tutankhamon´s tomb exposition in Madrid last october 7th. We learned about the pharaoh, his tomb and its discovery, and, of course, we all were captivated by everything we saw there. Some of our pupils prepared powerpoint presentations about it. All of them are wonderful. Congratulations! Here you have one of the best works. Enjoy it!

Nuestros alumnos de 1º y 2º de ESO visitaron la exposición de la tumba de Tutankamón el pasado 7 de octubre en Madrid. Aprendimos cosas sobre el faraón, su tumba y su descubrimiento, y, por supuesto, quedamos cautivados por todo lo que allí vimos. Algunos de nuestros alumnos prepararon presentaciones de Power Point sobre ello. Todas son fantásticas. Muchas felicidades! Aquí tenéis uno de los mejores trabajos. Disfrutadlo!
