Put out by Texas instruments, this lesson plan teaches learners to add lists of numbers using the distributive property. A TI-73 calculator is needed to a complete a series of worksheets and activities focused on Greatest Common Factor, like terms, coefficients, and the distributive property. Pupils will use factoring to uncover the magic and explain the mathematics.
In this greatest common factor activity, students find the greatest common factor in five multiple choice problems. The solutions are available by clicking on the "Check It" button found on the bottom of the page.
Learners complete activities to practice number operations for greatest common factors and least common multiples. They will use real-world problems to practice finding the GCF and LCM of a set of numbers. In addition, they will complete 3 worksheets.
Learners use a Venn Diagram to identify the greatest common factors of a number. This would be a good way to review the concept once they have been exposed to this topic. It includes sample problems that can make this process easier to understand.
Who doesn't like to eat? Use food to explore the concept of fractions and how to multiply and divide fractions. In small groups they plan a sugar potluck that involves converting a recipe to produce enough dessert treats to feed the entire class. Math learners calculate the amount of ingredients for the entire project and for each individual recipe, make their recipe, and share it with the class.
Find the greatest common factors. Young mathematicians learn how to find GCF by watching the teacher demonstrate examples. A 10-problem worksheet and answer key are provided. This is a very basic lesson, but could be helpful with a small group.
Learners examine the concept of finding the greatest common factor. They complete number of activities as they practice identifying prime and composite numbers. Pupils apply rules of divisibility and find the greatest common factor while completing worksheets.
Get your bright-eyed mathematicians thinking first thing in the morning using this set of morning math problems. There are 20 warm-ups here with concepts including number patterns, solving for a variable, greater than/less than, prime numbers, square root, greatest common factor, place value, order of operations, and multiplication. These aren't numbered, so if you want kids to do them one at a time, consider numbering together before they begin.
Learners go over the examples given of the greatest common factors as a class. They then take the information they have studied and apply it by completing the worksheet independently.
In this greatest common factor instructional activity, students answer multiple choice questions about problem solving and rules of the greatest common factor in numbers. Students complete 10 questions total.
