"This resource made teaching GCF and LCM so much easier! The ladder method was clearly explained, and the presentation and notes helped my students follow along and stay engaged. It provided a strong visual approach that really supported their understanding."

Description

This product download includes a set of guided notes covering strategies for finding Greatest Common Factor and Least Common Multiple of 2 or more numbers using the Ladder Method, as well as rewriting an expression using the GCF and Distributive Property.

The guided notes are in Google Slides format and can be edited, if needed. Aligned with the original (unedited) guided notes come three printable PDF options for printing notes for students: already completed notes, a completely blank but formatted notes page, and a scaffolded version that is designed more as a 'fill in the blank' option. Please note: the size of the printable PDFs are designed for composition notebooks and should be printed at 8.5 x 11 inch size and cut in half (see product previews).

The guided notes could be used in a flipped classroom model, in the classroom setting, as a review, or even posted online to frontload a topic. Students could take notes independently using the guided notes presentation with the blank or scaffolded student notes page printed for them, and providing absent students with notes is made easy as taking notes from the guided lesson could be done independently if shared via Google Classroom or other online learning management systems. Alternatively, students could also be provided with the set of notes that is already completed, if this works best.

Standards

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).
