Prime numbers hold a fundamental role in mathematics due to their unique factorization properties. They are pivotal in various fields such as cryptography and computer science.
The Sieve of Eratosthenes stands out as an efficient technique for identifying prime numbers within any given range. By eliminating multiples of primes, rather than directly checking divisibility, the sieve reduces the number of operations required to identify all primes up to a given limit. Fourth-grade students recently embarked on an engaging journey to explore all prime numbers from 1 to 100. During this exploration, they also investigated factors and multiples within this range in an interactive and captivating manner.
