A special type of number is called a <i>prime number</i>. You'll remember that prime numbers only have two factors: itself and one.<br />
<br />
It's easy to rattle off the first few prime numbers - 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13...<br />
<br />
But how about when numbers become larger? 4,729 and 7,919 are both prime numbers.<br />
<br />
<b>179,424,691</b> is <i>also</i> a prime number.<br />
<br />
So is <b>797,003,437</b>!<br />
<br />
<b>How do you think these huge prime numbers are discovered?</b><br />
<br />
Adam Spencer is an Australian radio host. He isn't a professional mathematician; rather, he is simply fascinated by math like many of you!<br />
<br />
One of his mathematical interests is prime numbers. In his TED Talk, Adam describes how "monster" prime numbers are discovered by mathematicians all over the world.<br />
<b><br /> </b><br />
<div>
<b>Why do you think "hunting" for "monster" primes is so fascinating? </b><br />
<div>
<b>Would you be interested in helping hunt for monster primes?</b><br />

<span class="c1"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is expected that students complete all assignments on time. If an assignment is late, the student is expected to turn it in as soon as possible. Repeated lateness may result in an action plan involving the student, parents, and administration to ensure the student is able to complete assignments on time moving forward.</span></span></div>

Here are some friendly reminders for your locker problem explanation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You must explain <b>HOW</b> you solved the problem. This includes telling me, in logical order, <b><i>what you did to solve the problem</i></b>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After that you must explain, <b><i>using appropriate math vocabulary</i></b>, <b>WHY</b> your answer works. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You must have a visual that helps explain your answer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Remember to refer to the rubric as you complete your response.</div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>How do you calculate interest?</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Well, let's say that a bank is having 5% interest per year. The more money you give to your bank, the more interest you get. For example, if you deposit $1,000 in the bank for a year, the next year you would have $1,050 in your bank account. It's important to know that the next year, the interest is 5% of 1,050 - not 1,00 anymore. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Under this paragraph, it shows a rate table where I calculated 5% of 1,000.</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Another<i> </i>reason you should invest in Hardinge, McComb, Munden & Co!</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Normally, when people "save" money, they usually put it in piggy banks or hide money in a box under their bed. <i>But</i> not only Hardinge, McComb, Munden & Co are trustworthy, they also give out 10% interest - which means you gain more money every year your $1,000 is in our keepings. And, not only you can donate more money to our company, your interest can grow even BIGGER if the size of your money gets larger!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Isn't that much better than sticking cash under your bed, waiting for it to get dusty and perhaps even mold?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Umm, what else are the benefits of having only $100 or $50 per year?</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">You must be thinking that you only gain 5% of your original balance each year. Well, you're WRONG! If you do not withdraw your money, you get even MORE each year! Why is that, you say? Well, let's say you get $1,050 from that year you got interest. You <i>don't </i>get 5% of $1,000 again, you get 5% of $1,050! You get 5% of the money you gained last year! That means, if it goes on and on, in no time, you'll have a LOT more than $100 going into your bank every year!</span></div>
