ISTE/NETS for Teachers

1) Design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments.

Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and

assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content
learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the
StandardsS.

a) Communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and

peers using a variety of digital age media and formats

b) Model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate,
analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning

4) Critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making.

Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects,
solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and
resources.

a) Identify and define authentic problems and significant questions for investigation

b) Plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project

c) Collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions

d) Use multiple processes and diverse perspectives to explore alternative solutions

The student will be able to identify divisibility rules of: 2,4,5,6,8,9,10 with 85%
accuracy.

Description of the Activity

Teachers will provide the definition of natural, odd and even numbers. Then, teachers
will provide some examples of even and odd numbers using divisibility rules. After
that, they will ask to students to come up and solve some exercises.

Natural numbers:
Natural numbers are those used for counting and ordering. Begin the natural numbers
with 0, then 1,2,3,4,...

Odd numbers:
Odd number is any integer (not fraction) that cannot be divided exactly by 2.

-1, 1, 3, 5, 7 ,9,...

Even numbers:

Even number is any integer that can be divided exactly by 2.

-2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8,...
