Video Tutorial

Investigate

Investigate an idea or problem, with a partner if possible.
The investigation provides the background for the ideas presented in the lesson.

TEXT Page 11

Read/Work through the  Investigate  section on Page 11 in your textbook.

You don’t really need the chart to do this Investigation,  just keep track on a piece of paper.

For example...

Number           Factors
1			1
2			1,2
3			1,3
4			1,2,4
etc.

If you can work with a partner, GREAT,  but you can easily do this investigation on your own.

I strongly recommend using the demonstration you already used in the previous lesson.
