Have students turn to S39 in their books to begin the Warm-Up. Students will solve simple multiplication problems and answer questions to review factors, products, and skip counting (multiples). Monitor students to see if any of them need help during the Warm-Up. Give students 3 minutes to complete the problems and then spend 2 minutes reviewing the answers as a class. {Verbal Description} [HOMEWORK] (5 minutes) Take time to go over the homework from the previous night.

2 T106 Mathematics Success Level F [LESSON] (50 60 minutes M, GP, IP, WG, CP, I) SOLVE Problem (1 minute GP, WG) T116, S40 (Answers on T117.) Have students turn to S40 in their books, and place T116 on the overhead. The first problem is a SOLVE problem. You are only going to complete the S step with students at this point. Tell students that during the lesson they will learn how to find the greatest common factor (GCF) and the least common multiple (LCM) of numbers. They will use this knowledge to complete this SOLVE problem at the end of the lesson. {SOLVE} Greatest Common Factor (10 minutes M, GP, IP, WG, CP) T116, S40 (Answers on T117.) Ask students what a factor is. (A factor is a number that divides evenly into another number.) Reference the problems in the Warm-Up on S39 (T115) and ask students to identify the factors in Problems 1 4. Talk with students about what the term greatest common factor means. Explain that the word common means something that is shared and that the greatest common factor is the largest factor shared by two or more numbers. 5 minutes M, GP, WG: Pass out the centimeter cubes to students. Use the hundred board on T116 (S40) and the following activity to model for students a concrete approach to finding the GCF of two numbers. {Concrete Representation, Graphic Organizer, Verbal Description}

Explain to students that first they need to find the factors of 12. Have students put a centimeter cube on each of the factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Step 2: Next, explain to students that they need to find the factors of 18. Have students leave the cubes on the board and place centimeter cubes on all the factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. Step 3: Have students look at the factors and determine which ones are common to both 12 and 18, as you point them out on T116. Explain that these factors will have 2 cubes on them. (They are 1, 2, 3, and 6.) Ask, Which is the largest factor 12 and 18 have in common (or share)? (6) Explain that six is the greatest common factor of 12 and 18. Step 4: Record the answer on T116 as students record on S40. 3 minutes IP, CP: Have students work in partners with the centimeter cubes to find the greatest common factor of 14 and 42 and answer the questions on S40. {Concrete Representation, Verbal Description, Graphic Organizer} 2 minutes M, WG: Use centimeter cubes to model the answer for the GCF problem on T116 (S40) and go over the answers to Questions 1 3 as a group.

Explain to students that first they need to find the multiples of 4. Have students put a centimeter cube on each of the multiples of 4, through 24: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24. Step 2: Next, explain to students that they need to find the multiples of 5. Have students leave the cubes on the board and place centimeter cubes on all the multiples of 5, through 25: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. Step 3: Have students look at the multiples and determine which ones are common to both 4 and 5, as you point them out on T122. Explain that these multiples will have 2 cubes on them. (There is only one. It is 20.) Ask, Which is the smallest multiple 4 and 5 have in common (or share)? (20) Explain that 20 is the least common multiple of 4 and 5.

9 Mathematics Success Level F T113 2 minutes IP, CP, WG: Have students complete Problem 2 on S44 with a partner and then come back together as a class to discuss the answer. {Verbal Description, Pictorial Representation, Graphic Organizer} LCM Abstract (7 minutes M, GP, IP, WG, CP) T126, S45 (Answers on T127.) 3 minutes M, GP, WG: Have students turn to S45 in their books, and place T126 on the overhead. Use the following activity to model for students an abstract approach to finding the LCM of two numbers. {Verbal Description, Graphic Organizer} MODELING Least Common Multiple Abstract Step 1: Tell students that, for Problem 1, they are going to find the least common multiple of 4 and 6. Explain that students will not be using a hundred board, but will use the graphic organizer they have used in previous problems to list the multiples of 4 and 6. Ask students what they think the LCM of 4 and 6 will be and why. (Based on the work they have already completed, many students may think that the LCM will be 24, because they simply multiplied 4 and 6.) Step 2: Model how to write the multiples of 4 in the graphic organizer as students record on S45. Then model how to write the multiples of 6 in the graphic organizer as students record. Step 3: Have students circle the common multiples. Ask students what they are and record as students record. Ask students to determine what the least common multiple of 4 and 6 is, and record as students record. Step 4: Refer to the graphic organizer on T126. Ask students if they needed to continue to write the multiples once they found the least common multiple. (No, they can stop when they determine the LCM.). 4 minutes IP, CP, WG: Have students complete Problems 2 4 on S45 with a partner and then come back together as a class to discuss the answers. {Verbal Description, Graphic Organizer}

10 T114 Mathematics Success Level F SOLVE Problem (3 minutes GP, WG) T128, S46 (Answers on T129.) Remind students that the SOLVE problem is the same one from the beginning of the lesson. Complete the SOLVE problem with your students. Ask them for possible connections from the SOLVE problem to the lesson. (Students will be using least common multiples to solve the problem. {SOLVE, Verbal Description} If time permits (10 minutes IP, I) S47 (Answers on T130.) Have students solve Problems 1 5 on S47 independently. Review the answers as a class. [CLOSURE] (2 minutes) To wrap up the lesson, go back to the essential questions and discuss them with students. What is the difference between greatest common factor (GCF) and least common multiple (LCM)? (The greatest common factor is the largest number that is a factor of 2 (or more) whole numbers. The least common multiple is the smallest number that is a multiple of two (or more) whole numbers. It can not be 0.) What is the most important word in greatest common factor? Explain. ( Greatest is the most important word because we are looking for the largest number that is a factor of 2 (or more) whole numbers.) What is the most important word in least common multiple? Explain. ( Least is the most important word because we are looking for the smallest number that is a multiple of two (or more) whole numbers except for 0.) [HOMEWORK] Assign S48 for homework. (Answers on T131.) [QUIZ ANSWERS] T132 The quiz can be used at any time as extra homework or to see how students did on working with greatest common factors and least common multiples.
