Blocks for logarithms, multiplication, factors, and primes: The Logprimus

thingiverse

Introducing "The Logprimus," a set of blocks designed to help students learn about logarithmic relationships between integers and link them to operations such as multiplication, factorization, and prime sequences. By linearly stacking these blocks and comparing their total length against a log scale or other stacks, concepts of prime factors and integer uniqueness become reinforced. Lesson ideas are included in the instructions, with exercises ranging from basic multiplication problems to more advanced concepts like division, fractions, and greatest common divisors. Primes can also be integrated into activities, such as having students select only prime integers from their block sets and combining them to create unique stacks. With endless variations possible, "The Logprimus" serves as an engaging and interactive learning tool for students of all ages, with countless lesson ideas waiting to be discovered and contributed by educators worldwide.
