Least Common Multiple – Real Life Practice – DIGITAL – Grades 6-7

Description

Do your kids struggle with finding the least common multiple? Does it feel like a meaningless skill to master with no real purpose? Show your kids how to find the LCM in a real life context with this engaging digital activity!

Using presentation mode, your 6th-7th grade students will practice finding the least common multiple to help determine when things align in the schedule.

For example, if a math test occurs every 14 days and reading logs are due every 21 days, when is the first time they will the both be due on the same day?

This is a great, relevant problem solving task that can be used to introduce least common multiple before formal instruction occurs.

Included are 12 different true or false challenges, where students determine if the given LCM is correct.

After clicking through the true/false section, they go back and give the correct answer to the false solutions (8 problems)!
