What is the greatest common factor?
ANALYSIS:
Activity 1 - The scavenger hunt allowed students to apply their knowledge of greatest
common factor in solving real-world problems. It enhanced their critical thinking and
collaboration skills.
Activity 2 - The puzzle challenge promoted problem-solving and critical thinking skills
as students arranged the puzzle pieces based on greatest common factors.
ABSTRACTION:
The main point of solving problems involving greatest common factor is to identify
the largest number that can divide two or more numbers without leaving a remainder.
By finding the greatest common factor, students can simplify fractions, solve word
problems, and make calculations more efficient. Recognizing patterns and rules in
finding the greatest common factor can help students apply this concept to various
mathematical situations.
APPLICATION:
Task 2 - Students will design a board game that involves solving problems related to
greatest common factor. The game should include various levels of difficulty and
require players to apply their knowledge of greatest common factor in order to
progress. This task will promote problem-solving, strategic thinking, and
collaboration.
ASSESSMENT:
Assignment:
Assignment 1: Students will research and write a short essay on the significance of
greatest common factor in solving real-life problems. They should provide examples
and explain how the concept can be applied in different contexts. This assignment
will promote research skills, critical thinking, and written communication.
