Fractions

Factors, multiples, prime, composite, divisibility, factorization, staircases and trees....the vocab for the day.  If math is really a set of concepts, why does it require so much memorization of terms, algorithms and processes? or should it?  How can we get kids to better conceptualize math?

Question of the day?   Is it possible to find the prime factorization of a negative number? if so, what are the prime factors?
