6. Determine the GCF and LCM for a given number set.
I Can….
Determine the GCF and LCM for a given number set.

7. Greatest Common Factor
Essential Understanding:
To determine the greatest common factor of any number set, compare the prime factorization of each number in the given set.
Think: Factor Tree
Example: What is the greatest common factor for the given set. 12, 42, 72, 90
Quick Check: Page- 11 Questions- b, c, and d

8. Least Common Multiple Essential Understanding:
There are two ways to determine the LCM of any given number set.
1) Create a list of multiples for each number given.
Example:
2) Multiply the prime factors of each number. (each factor is used once)
Think: Skip Counting
Quick Check: Page Questions- e, f, and g

9. Whole Class Game The Final Countdown Directions:
Students will be divided into 6 groups.
One player from each group will compete to against other players to determine the GCF or LCM for a given number set.
The first player with the correct answer will be be rewarded 1 point for that round.
The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Scarlett planted rose bushes around her porch. She measured the growth on the plants each week for 4 weeks. The results are shown in the table below. 1) How tall was Scarlett’s plant after 2 weeks? After 3 weeks? After 4 weeks? 2) Suppose Scarlett’s porch is only 3’ tall. How much more can the plants grow before they will need to be trimmed?
Week
Plant Height 1
4 ½ inches 2
3 ¼ inches 3
6 ¾ inches 4
5 inches

15. Add and Subtract Fractions
Essential Understanding:
To find the sum or difference of fractions, you must first identify a common denominator. Remember to scale both fractions up or down until you reach the LCM. Once all fractions have a common denominator, you can simply add or subtract the numerators (the denominator will stay the same). Simplify when possible.
Examples:

Multiply fractions by mixed numbers.

30. Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers
Essential Understanding:
To find the product of fractions and mixed numbers, begin by converting the mixed number to and improper fraction.
This is done by adding the numerator to the product of the denominator and whole number. (leave room for example).
Example:
Next simply multiple numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator (straight across). Finally write the product in simplest form.
