I. Objective
Finds the common factors and the greatest common factor (GCF) of two
numbers using the following methods: listing, prime factorization, and continuous division
Values: Being Cooperative
Helpfulness

II. Subject Matter

Topic: Finding the common factors and the greatest common factor (GCF) of two
numbers using the following methods: listing, prime factorization, and continuous division
References: Teacher’s Guide pp. 118 - 122
Learner’s Manual pp. 89-92
Materials: Powerpoint Presentation, Pictures for jigsaw puzzle, Flag lets

III. Procedure:
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Checking of Attendance
4. Energizer (Math Song)
5. Checking of Assignment
6. Review

The pupils will play “Fact or Bluff”. Each group will be given flaglets with the words
“Fact” and “Bluff”. They will raise their answers 5 seconds after the statement was read
by the teacher.

1. Two and 3 are prime numbers. (Fact)

2. Twenty-six and 10 are composite numbers. (Fact)
3. Nineteen is a composite number. (Bluff)
4. Thirteen and 14 are composite numbers. (Bluff)
5. Multiples of 10 are composite numbers. (Fact)
6. Odd numbers are prime numbers. (Fact)

B. Developmental Activities
1. Motivation

The pupils will play the game “Naming Babies”. In this game, each group must
name a pair of factors of a number that will be flashed on the screen. One and the
number itself as factors would not earn a point. They will write their answers on the
paper given to them before the game. Groups that will give the correct answer will be
given a part of a jigsaw puzzle that will serve as a clue for the next activity.
1. 24 (2,12 3,8 4,6)
2. 14 (2,7)
3. 27 (3,9)
4. 10 (2,5)
5. 20 (2,10 4,5)

C. Infusion of Values

Ask the pupils to complete/solve the jigsaw puzzle with the group.
Ask the pupils:
What can you see in the picture?
What might be the young boy doing with his father?
Do you also help your father or mother?
D. Discussion
1. Presentation

Now class, let us read the problem.

Tomas helps his father in their bakeshop. They bake 24 cupcakes and 30 cookies.
They plan to pack them separately in small boxes. What is the biggest number of
cupcakes and cookies that can be placed in boxes if these are of the same number?

2. Discussion Analysis

Show a picture of cupcakes and cookies.

Ask: What did Tomas and his father bake?

How many cupcakes were baked?
How many cookies were baked?
What did Tomas and his father plan to do with the cupcakes and cookies?
How will you solve for the answer to the problem?
(This will be answered through a group activity)

E. Fixing Skills

1. Independent Exercise

Let us have another activity. You are going to find the greatest common factor of
the following pairs of numbers. One pupil will get one cube from the basket, The pairs of
numbers are written in the cube. The first group to sing the jingle will have the chance to
show their answer in class. The first group to make the highest points win the game.

F. Application

Find the common factors and the greatest common factor (GCF) of the following
pairs of numbers. Use the indicated method.

Group 1 - 12 and 20 (Listing Method)

Group 2 - 18 and 24 (Continuous Division)
Group 3 - 9 and 27 (Factor tree)

G. Generalization
What is greatest common factor (GCF)?
How do we get the greatest common factor (GCF) of a given pair of numbers?
What are the three methods used to find the greatest common factor (GCF)?
IV. Evaluation

Direction: Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of a given pair of number using the
three methods.

10 and 20

V. Assignment

Solve the given problem.

Mrs. Castro cooked 35 pieces of boiled sweet potatoes and 42 pieces of boiled
bananas. She wants to pack them separately in paper bags to distribute to Brigada
Eskwela volunteers. What is the biggest number of boiled sweet potatoes and bananas
that can be placed in paper bags if these are of the same number?
