Thanks! Yeah, when I started teaching these kids, I remembered that generating a list of prime numbers between zero and n wasn't too appealing to me when I was learning C. Since the start I've been using this approach. What are you doing with your students? I kind of get to cheat with JavaScript, it's not my favourite language but if you want results fast it's definitely up there, and that is very helpful because as soon as a kid starts experimenting and having lots of fun, that's when you've got them hooked.
And thank you very much for that link, it makes so much sense and I had no idea Khan Academy was as good for this as it is. Definitely getting the kids on it this Saturday.
