Example: 36- 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

*You will need to be able to find the GCF and LCM of pairs of numbers.
Example: 12 and 24
 Factors of 12: 1,2,3,4,6,12
Factors of 24: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

Multiples of 24: 24, 48, 72
LCM: 24

*You will need to be able to find the prime factorization of a number by making a factor tree.

*You will need to be able to solve “real world” problems by using factors and/or multiples.

Examples: Problem 2.1- Ferris wheel, Problem 2.2- Cicada cycles, Problem 2.3- Bagging snacks

Factors= fewer, divide, split, share

Math- Period 2 and 6

Prime Time Test on Friday October 23, 2015
review sheet coming soon...

Heirloom Project

To All,

The students will be working on their Heirloom Project this week. Students will be doing the research for this project as homework: - choose a family heirloom or artifact - ask relatives about the object, its purpose/function, how it came to be in the family, why it was passed on through the generations, its significance.

The students have the Family Heirloom Cataloguing Data worksheet. Use this as a guide to the type of information they should research and gather for the item they have chosen to study.

Some guiding questions: What is it? - Define it’s shape, size and color. - Condition (rusty, broken, bent, decayed)? - Of what is it made? - When was it made? - Where was it made? - How was it made? - Who used it? - For what was it used? - What special attributes does it have? - Is there an oral or written history? - Other facts you know about this object. - Sources of information.

An example of cataloguing data:
Once the students have completed the data sheet they will give a short presentation about his or her heirloom.
