Objective

Students will determine if all perfect squares can be written as the sum of two primes.

In this video, students will investigate a relationship between prime numbers and perfect squares. There is a pattern that perfect squares can be written as the sum of two primes:

  • 4 = 2 + 2
  • 9 = 7 + 2
  • 16 = 11 + 5 or 13 + 3
  • 100 = 97 + 3
