Why only one rectangle can be build with a prime number of a square tiles?
Because prime numbers only have one factor pair.
How can you use an array of counters to identify whether a number of counters is prime or composite?
If you can arrange the counters in the shape of a rectangle with at least two in each row and each column then the number is composite. The numbers of row and the numbers of columns are factors of the given number. If the only rectangle you can make is the "degenerate" one, with only one row or only one column, then the number is prime.

How do you find rectangles using the prime numbers?
Prime numbers have one factor pair, hence one rectangle.
Which numbers have the most rectangle and what kind of numbers are these?
Composite numbers have the most rectangles. These numers are numbers that have factors other than their self or one
