Can’t wait to start using prime and composite numbers 1-100 chart? No worries! Please find below the printables PDFs for prime and composite numbers that you can download, save or print for free.

How to use prime and composite 1-100 number charts?

Early math learners tend to do a lot of mistakes in picking the prime and composite numbers from a given set. A quick trick lies in improving their performance by using these printable charts in a few interesting ways.

Just to give a quick recap of the concept, prime numbers have only two factors – 1 and the number itself. And composite numbers are numbers that may have more than two factors, in addition to 1 and the number itself. With this hint to apply, users can employ our free printables as:

• Homework: Fill in the blank prime and composite numbers charts as a homework activity. We have filled in one number for you to give an idea.

• Quick test: Give a quick test to the students by asking them to fill. Even prefilled charts can be used to do ‘identify prime and composite numbers’ activity. Put the chart in front of the student and ask him to put fingers on the prime or composite numbers when asked. It works as a good mental workout.

• Classroom intervention material: Acquaint students with prime and composite numbers by giving them quick reference material. You can do a quick number talk session also, by asking them the strategy behind picking the number as prime or composite.

• Progressive learning tool: Students who need extra effort in grasping numbers can start with prime number charts’ 2-3 lines only and then keep increasing the challenge cumulatively by covering more rows. Also, they may start with the prime numbers first, master them, and then move to composite numbers; finally, they can learn to pick both from the given set. Thus, you can adopt a systematic approach to ingrain this concept in students.

Summing up

Whether you are a teacher, a guardian, a student, or a self-learner, these prime and composite numbers 1-100 charts fit your individual requirements perfectly. Include these in your learning or teaching materials and move to higher proficiency levels with ease.
