UNIT 4
Stand-alone: Numbers
Factors & Multiples
For fractional and decimal computation, the ideas developed for whole-number computation can apply
Learning outcomes:
Use the language of multiplication and division, for example, factor, multiple, product, quotient, prime
numbers, composite number.
simplify fractions using manipulatives.
Add and subtract fractions with related denominators in real-life situations.
Add and subtract decimals in real-life situations
Integration
Even complex operations can be modeled in a variety of ways, for example, an algorithm is a way to
represent an operation. (magic triangles, factor tree method)
Learning outcomes:
use the language of multiplication and division, for example, factor, multiple, product, quotient, prime
numbers, composite number
select an appropriate method for solving a problem, for example, mental estimation, mental or written
strategies, or by using a calculator
use strategies to evaluate the reasonableness of answers.
We know that 8 is divisible by 4 completely without any remainder. Therefore, 4 is the factor of 8.
Alternatively, the factor of a number is defined as two numbers such that the product of numbers is equal to
the given number.
Examples:

The product of the numbers 3 and 2 is equal to 6. Therefore, 2 and 3 are the factors of 6.
A number may have many factors.
Properties of Factors
A number may have many factors.
Every number is a factor of itself.
1 is the factor of every number.
Every number other than 1 has at least two factors, i.e., 1 and itself.
What Is Multiple?
The multiples of the number are the product of the numbers with the natural numbers.
Examples:
The first ten multiples of 12 are:
12 × 6 = 72
12 × 7 = 84
12 × 8 = 96
12 × 9 = 108
12 × 10 = 120
12 × 1 = 12
12 × 2 = 24
12 × 3 = 36
12 × 4 = 48
12 × 5 = 60
Properties of Multiples
Every number is a multiple of itself.
1 × 8 = 8; 1 × 14 = 14
Every number is the multiple of 1.
8 × 1 = 8; 14 × 1 = 14
The first multiple of the number is equal to the number.
The first multiple of 8 is 1 × 8 = 8
Every multiple of the number is either equal to the number or greater than the number.
The multiple of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ……
The multiples of an even number are always even.
The multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, …..
The multiples of an odd number are alternatively odd and even.
The multiples of 9 are 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, ……
A number can have an infinite number of multiples.
Metric Measure of Length
Measurement of something from its one end to the other is called its length. The standard unit of length is
meter. We use different units to measure different lengths. Millimetre, centimetre, decimetre is smaller unit
used to measure smaller distance, meter is used to measure average distance, whereas units like decametre,
hectometre and kilometre are used to measure longer distance. All these units are related to each other.
When we move from one metric unit to another to the right in the above metric chart, the value of metric
unit becomes ten times smaller i.e., one tenth and when we move from one metric unit to another to the left
in the metric chart, the value of metric unit becomes ten times bigger.
We consider meter as the basic unit of length.
1 Decametre (dam) = 10 times metre
1 Hectometre (hm) = 100 times metre
1 Kilometre (km) = 1000 times metre
1 Decimetre (dm) = 1/10 of metre
1 centimetre (cm) = 1/100 of metre
1 millimetre (mm) = 1/1000 of metre
Objective: In this section, students will practice solving word problems using multiplication and division.
Word problems help in understanding how these operations are used in real-life situations.
Instructions:
Example 1: Multiplication
https://youtu.be/xyAo7eJaDwg?si=IyxGDhUzXDh08g34
Problem:A book has 32 pages. If you want to read 4 pages every day, how many days will it take to finish
the book?
Solution:You need to multiply the number of days by 4 to find how many pages you’ll read in that time.
Example 2: Division
https://youtu.be/cT-dxQ2clz8?si=g0mN4lKo0xLkoINB
Problem:There are 60 candies and you want to share them equally among 5 friends. How many candies will
each friend get?
Solution:You need to divide the total number of candies by the number of friends to find out how many
each will get.
60 ÷ 5 = 12
Define what a line graph is and explain its purpose (showing changes over time).
Discuss common uses for line graphs, such as tracking temperature, rainfall, or test scores.
Axes: Explain the x-axis (often representing time or categories) and the y-axis (showing values).
Data Points: Show how data points are plotted and then connected by lines.
Title and Labels: Importance of a title and clear labels for the axes.
Guide students in gathering simple data that changes over time (e.g., daily temperature, steps walked
per day).
Teach them to organize data in a table before plotting it on a graph.
Have students plot points, label the axes, and draw lines to connect points.
5. Practice Activities
Give students a set of data to practice creating and interpreting line graphs.
Use group activities where students can collect their own data and create line graphs collaboratively.
