Common Multiples: Sports Calendar

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Using a calendar, basketballs, and tennis balls, young mathematicians determine the common multiples of four and six. Individuals drag and drop the balls onto the correct dates each sport will be played, allowing them to see which days overlap. In turn, they discover common multiples of the two numbers.

  • Ensure all users have free CK-12 accounts to access the interactive
  • Does not explain why a question was missed but simply shows the correct answer

Pros

  • Final question is a discussion prompt

Cons

  • None
