The lesson of the day was making factor trees
There is just one thing, the factors are prime
What are primes? They're a special type of number
Only factors are 1 and itself

The lesson seemed strange to me It never would come to me
Break down the number please Factor down a tree
The number 9, branch it down with primes
You get 3 x 3 - they are so prime
3 times 3 - circle them for me
Yeah, I can see a factor tree

Break the number down for me
Branch it out in 2's and 3's
Circle all the primes for me

The number 12 - branch it 3 x 4
Now circle the 3 - branch the 4
You get 2 x 2 -you know just what to do
Just like the 3 before - circle the 2's

You can simplify
Give Powers (Exponents) a try
You can square or cube all like primes
Let's try 24 - branch it 6 x 4
Now it's 3 x 2 x 2 x 2
