Abstract

"Number City" by Paul Stephenson and Ian Benson discusses a mathematical model where prime factors are represented on a square grid, with cubes placed in rows corresponding to prime factors. The model, called Number City, allows for visualizing prime factorization up to 150. The article also explores the use of Computational Thinking in Mathematics, contrasting different representations of numbers and algorithms. The Sieve of Eratosthenes and Haskell programming language are used to demonstrate prime number generation and factorization. The article aims to enhance learners' understanding of multiplicative relationships and promote algebraic thinking through task design. [Extracted from the article]
