Teaching Mathematics through activities is a powerful approach that enhances students' understanding and engagement. Based on this, Ms. Mukta planned a prime number game for class 5 students. She announces the number 2 in her class and asked the first student to multiply it by a prime number and then pass it to second student. Second student again multiply it by a prime number and pass it to third student. In this way she continues multiplying to a prime number and the last student gets the result.
