I-Objectives: At the end of the lesson, at least 75 percent of the learners will be able to:

1. Determine the Least Common Multiple of pair numbers

2. Practice the steps in obtaining the Least Common Multiple of pair of

numbers

3. Solve word problems and find the Least Common Multiple of the given

numbers

II- Subject Matter:

“Visual Aids, Flashcards, Marker, Activity Sheets”

III. Procedure

1. Prayer

2. Greetings

3. Checking of Attendance
 4. Motivation

Let the student do skip counting though rhythmic hand activity. Provide

skip counting exercises for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10..

5. Discussion

Start discussing the Least Common Multiple

6. Give Examples

Example 1: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5 and 10

Step 1. List the multiple of all the given numbers

Multiple of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40..

Multiple of 10 are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 70, 80..

Step 2. Identify the common multiples of all the given numbers

Multiple of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40..

Multiple of 10 are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 70, 80..

Step 3. Write the Least Common Multiple of the given numbers

Common Multiple of 5 and 10 are 10, 20, 30, 40..

LCM= 10 (The smallest number of common multiple)

 Example 2: Find the Least Common Multiple of 6, 8, and 12

Given Numbers Multiple Common LCM

7. Enrichments

The class will be divided into 3 groups. Each group would be provided

different set of answer sheets to answer. They would be given 5 minutes to discuss and

find the LCM of the given numbers.
