Students in a grade 7 class were raising money for charity.

Some
students had a bowl-a-thon.

This table shows the money that one student raised for different
bowling times.

What patterns do you see in the table?

How long would the student have to bowl to

raise $72?

What is meant by divisibility rules?

A way to divide numbers quickly by following
a pattern.

Why is it important?
Divisibility rules help us find the factors of a number.

Copy down the following numbers.

35

410

123 2100 4126 795

Circle the ones that are divisible by 2.
Place a square around the ones that are
divisible by 5.
Draw a triangle around the ones that divisible by 10.

A number is divisible by
If the whole number is even
If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3
If the number formed by the last 2 digits is
divisible by 4
If the last digit is a 5 or a 0
If the number is divisible by 3 and is even
If the number is divisible by 4 and the quotient
is even
If the sum of the digits is divisible by 9
If it ends in 0

1) Choose 3 different colors.

2) Using one color, circle the numbers that are
divisible by 2.
3) Using a different color, circle all the numbers that
are divisible by 4.
4) Using your last color, circle all the numbers that
are divisible by 8.

Be able to discuss the following:

Describe the patterns that you found.

Sort the following numbers based on the divisibility rules

for 3 and 5 using both Carroll and Venn Diagrams.

6, 8, 10, 15, 18, 25, 26, 36, 40, 45, 120
