Plan Title

Use a Virtual Manipulative to Create Factor Trees, Find the Greatest Common Factor, and Determine the Least Common Multiple - In Class

Teacher Plan Overview

Students use the virtual manipulative to construct factor trees (to the prime factors) for two numbers, and then from the prime factorization, students identify the Least Common Multiple (LCM) and the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the two given numbers.
