A very interesting piece of the Real-Life Math puzzle that is the ultimate activity!

Divisors, Factors, Common Factors and determining the GCD (GCF) between 2 numbers are the bread and butter of any middle school math syllabus. The Euclidean Algorithm is an exciting way to determine the GCD and it paves the way to knowledge needed for the RSA Public Key Cryptosystem.

This product includes a FREE classroom poster, a FREE Google Form quiz (and a FREE PDF-version of the quiz) and a FREE key to the task.

The task, (with key), will involve...

Factors

Common Factors

Determining the GCD

It is important that students know (and that teachers always remind them) when they are busy with these topics, that they are learning fundamental mathematics needed to encrypt data and secret messages.
