Description
This "secret message" activity will amuse your students and teach them about finding the greatest common factor (GCF) as well as the different phrasing that can be used for this type of question.
Directions are printed at the top: In each row, determine the greatest common factor of each number pair. Circle the letter next to the pair that has the greater GCF. The first one has been completed for you.
At the end, read the message from top to bottom. It reads, "You are also great!" (The other letters spell "Make factor lists.")
What looks like only 14 problems is actually 28 problems, since kids have to find the GCF of each of the two items in order to find the greater GCF pair.
And all you have to do is copy it! The prep is all done for you.
Many more GCF and LCM items are available here, as part of my best-selling bundle! You can also find more Secret Message Math activities as part of the 6th Grade Math Secret Message Math Bundle :)
