7. Evaluate each student’s work using the rubric and use the guide on the rubric to determine the performance
level. Students should show a clear understanding of what makes a prime number prime and differentiate a
prime from composite number using a drawing of an array or making an array from manipulatives. They should

the organizational technique called a “rainbow pattern” to display all the factors of a composite number.
