essay writing unit. The children are publishing their essays in writing and
working closely with partners to revise and edit their writing.

Students
will be learning about factor pairs and determining which numbers are prime and
which numbers are composite. They will also be playing games that involve
multiplication and division in order to solidify their facts.
