Cooking with GCF and LCM: Engaging Math Project with Partner and Independent Wor
Share

Description

Engage your students with this real-world math project where they explore Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and Least Common Multiple (LCM) using recipes! This activity integrates cooking into the classroom, allowing students to apply mathematical concepts to everyday scenarios.

What's Included:

  • Partner Project Page: Students pair up and compare their chosen recipes to synchronize cooking times, serve the greatest number of people without leftovers, and adjust servings based on LCM.
  • Example Page: A fully worked example to help guide students through the steps of applying GCF and LCM to real-life cooking scenarios.
  • Independent Worksheet: A flexible page where students can work individually with one recipe already provided, making it easy for teachers to differentiate instruction.

This resource is perfect for 6th or 7th grade math students and is a great way to bring hands-on learning into your classroom! This project can be used in class, as homework, or even in small groups!

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).
