Need some suggestions

Jul 31, 2018

We would like to create an activity that asks students to differentiate between Prime and Composite numbers from 1 to 1000.  We would like to have the numbers randomly generated by SL (360). We were thinking of a drag and drop activity but aren't sure how to set that up.  If the numbers are randomly generated variables, we can't assign fixed drop targets. On the other hand, if we created all of the draggable objects (not ideal since there would be 1000) we would need a way to tell SL to randomly select 25 of the 1000 objects each time a student tried the activity. 

If anyone has any ideas and suggestions, we would love to hear them.

Thanks,

Chris

Here are all of the primes less than 1000:

{2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199, 211, 223, 227, 229, 233, 239, 241, 251, 257, 263, 269, 271, 277, 281, 283, 293, 307, 311, 313, 317, 331, 337, 347, 349, 353, 359, 367, 373, 379, 383, 389, 397, 401, 409, 419, 421, 431, 433, 439, 443, 449, 457, 461, 463, 467, 479, 487, 491, 499, 503, 509, 521, 523, 541, 547, 557, 563, 569, 571, 577, 587, 593, 599, 601, 607, 613, 617, 619, 631, 641, 643, 647, 653, 659, 661, 673, 677, 683, 691, 701, 709, 719, 727, 733, 739, 743, 751, 757, 761, 769, 773, 787, 797, 809, 811, 821, 823, 827, 829, 839, 853, 857, 859, 863, 877, 881, 883, 887, 907, 911, 919, 929, 937, 941, 947, 953, 967, 971, 977, 983, 991, 997}

Any integer not on the list is composite.
