Algorithms for Factors, Multiples and Divisibility (AC9M5N10)

create and use algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions and digital tools to experiment with factors, multiples and divisibility; identify, interpret and describe emerging patterns

Choose a learning activity. Practice and Test use short shuffled attempts. Repeat quiz practice to access more of the full question bank.

Unit focus

  • Students write precise algorithms that test divisibility or generate number sets, trace inputs through decisions, use digital tools for repeated cases and distinguish observed patterns from proven rules.
  • Use this routine: Represent → Reason → Calculate → Interpret → Verify.
  • Watch for one decision branch missing: Define what happens for both yes and no outcomes.
