Math Divisibility Rules

Divisibility Rules

The divisibility rules make reducing fractions easier.
    A number is divisible by 2 if it is an even number.

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.

A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits are both zeros or if they are divisible by 4.

A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5.

A number is divisible by 6 if it is even and is divisible by 3.

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.

A number is divisible by 10 if it ends in 0.

A number is divisible y 7 if:
          1. take last digit of number and double it
          2. Subtract this number from the rest of the digits in the original #.
          3. If this new number is either 0 or a number is divisible by 7.
            Example:
            1) The last digit of 203 is 3, double it is 3 x 2 = 6.
            2) Subtracting this new number, 6, from 20 ( the remaining digits of the origingal number 203) gives 14.
            3) Since 14 is divisible by 7, we can immediately tell that the original number, 203 is divisible by 7.




 A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits are divisible by 8.

Easter Story Cookies

To be made the evening before Easter.



You need:


1 cup whole pecans


1 tsp. vinegar


3 egg whites


pinch salt


1 cup sugar


zipper baggie


heavy wooden spoon


tape


A Bible



Preheat oven to 300 degrees. This is important! Don't wait until you're half done with the recipe!



Place pecans in zipper baggie and let children beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested, He was beaten by the Roman soldiers.


Read John 19:1-3.



Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 tsp. vinegar into mixing bowl.
Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross, He was given vinegar to drink.


Read John 19:28-30.



Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His life to give us eternal life.


Read John 10:10-11.



Sprinkle a little salt into each child's hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers, and the bitterness of our own sin.


Read Luke 23:27.



So far, the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add 1 cup sugar. Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to know and belong to Him.


Read Ps. 34:8 and John 3:16.



Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed. Explain that the color white represents the purity in God's eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus.


Read Isa. 1:18 and John 3:1-3.



Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto wax paper covered cookie sheet. Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was laid.


Read Matt. 27:57-60.



Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF.
Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain that Jesus' tomb was sealed.


Read Matt. 27:65-66.



NOW GO TO BED! Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight. Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed.


Read John 16:20 and 22.



On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter, Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty.


Read Matt. 28:1-9
