Lesson Plan for Teaching Multiples and Least Common Multiple to Fifth Grade Students
Overview
This lesson plan outlines a one-hour instructional session designed to teach fifth-grade students how to find multiples of whole numbers and calculate the least common multiple (LCM) using the individual prime-factoring method. The plan includes learning objectives, assessment tools, instructional procedures using concrete, representational, and abstract strategies, and differentiation techniques for diverse learners.

Overview and Context
Lesson Overview: | To enable students to learn how to find multiples of whole numbers and the LCM of at least two whole numbers. |
Sources/References: | The textbook, “Fundamentals of Mathematics, Enhanced Edition” by Dyke, Rogers, and Adams (Page 175) |
National/State Standards (as required by subject area) Teaching students and enabling them gain an understanding of multiples and LCM | Objective(s) Students will…. Students will compute the LCM multiple of at least two whole numbers using the “individual prime-factoring method.” | Assessment Tool with Assessment attached Assess students on finding the LCM of two numbers Assessment: Compute the LCM of 13 and 14 using the “individual prime-factoring method.” | Mastery or Performance Level, Criteria Examine whether students have effectively used the “individual prime-factoring method” to find the LCM of both 13 and 14. I.e. by listing the multiples of both numbers, the LCM is 182. That is; Multiples of 13: 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, 104, 117, 130, 143, 156, 169, 182. 195, 208, … Multiples of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112, 126, 140, 154, 168, 182, 196, 210, 224, … |
