Number Aerobics As the number is stated, if you have any part of that number come to the front and stand in order. Example: 567 (500, 60, 7) Build the number using base-ten blocks.

Focus Activity: LCM One volunteer: Skip count by 5’s to 30. Another volunteer: Skip count by 3’s to 30. Class - Write down what you hear on notebook paper. What numbers did you hear from each volunteer that was the same? Repeat with 4 and 6 or 8 and 12. Through skip counting you are finding the multiples of the number.

What is the definition of Least Common Multiple? A multiple shared by two or more numbers is a common multiple. Think about the individual words, what do they each mean? Least - Common - Multiple - Create a visual representation from your definition of the individual words. What was the LCM of 3 and 5? What is the LCM of 3 and 4?

Where is LCM Assessed at the State Level? 5th Grade - 1.4.K4 Identifies, explains, and finds the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two or more whole numbers through the basic multiplication facts from 1x1 through 12 x 12 (2.4.K1d - Factor trees)

Real World Situation. During the summer months, one ice cream truck visits Lyons every 4 days and another ice cream truck visits every 5 days.

Focus Activity: Greatest Common Factor Select 12 tiles to use. Separate the tiles into groups with the same amount in each group and record their results on paper. You may want to draw the groups on paper for better clarity. How many, and what kinds of groups did you create? 1 group of 12 2 groups of 6 3 groups of 4

Focus Activity: GCF Can you make a rectangle out of the different groups? 12 is an even number, can be arranged into an array or rectangle with no left over pieces. Also a composite number (it can be broken into different groups) The different groups represent the factors of a number. Factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4,6, and 12

Focus Activity: GCF Select 18 tiles to use. Separate the tiles into as many even groups as possible and record their results on paper. You may want to draw the groups on paper for better clarity. How many, and what kinds of groups did you create? 1 group of 18 2 groups of 9 3 groups of 6

What is the definition for Greatest Common Factor? Compare the numbers 12 and 18 to see if they have any factors that are the same. A factor shared by two or more numbers is a common factor. Think about the individual words, what do they each mean? Greatest - Common - Factor - Create a visual representation from your definition of the individual words. What was the GCF of 6 and 12? What is the GCF of 12 and 27?

Where is GCF Assessed at the State Level? 5th Grade - 1.4.K4 Identifies, explains, and finds the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two or more whole numbers through the basic multiplication facts from 1x1 through 12 x 12 (2.4.K1d - Factor trees)

Two-Dice Sums Twelve Skittles Arrange your twelve skittles on the numbers 2 through 12. More than one counter can be placed on any number, or possibly no counters on a number. Add the numbers on the two dice to find the sum. Remove ONE counter from that number on game board. Object of the game - be the first player to remove all of his or her counters. Keep track of the number of times the dice are rolled.

Question to Investigate What arrangement of counters will give you the best chance to clear the game board in the fewest number of rolls?

Probability Quote Probability theory is the underpinning of the modern world. Current research in both the physical and social sciences cannot be understood without it. Today’s politics, tomorrow’s weather report, and next week’s satellites all depend on probability theory. -- Lynn Arthur Steen - St. Olaf’s College, Minnesota

Key Mathematical Ideas: Some sums (or events) are more likely than others, and there is a mathematical explanation. There are organized ways to calculate the probability of each sum. It is possible to carry out an experiment to collect data that may give an indication of the likelihood of the sums (events). The more times an experiment is performed, the closer the experimental probability should get to the theoretical probability. Experimental data usually does not match theoretical probability.
