 Content of the lesson
Index notation is very useful when you have to express a number as a
product of its prime factors because it allows us to write in a short form

1050=2* 3* 52 ∗ 7 960= 26 ∗ 3 ∗ 5

 Choose the task corresponding to your ‘Target Grade”.

Choosing tasks that supports your learning style will enable maximum progress.

After finishing your ‘Target Grade’ task ‘Progress’ to the next level. Reaching ‘A*’ is the ultimate
target.
