1) History: Explore the concept of least common multiple in the context of historical
events, such as analyzing the intervals between significant dates or time periods.
2) Science: Investigate the least common multiple when calculating the periodicity of
natural phenomena, such as the lunar cycle or the migration patterns of animals.
Review Motivation:
2) Use a mystery box activity, where students solve least common multiple problems
to unlock clues and reveal the contents of the box.
Instructions:
1) Divide students into groups and provide each group with a set of scavenger hunt
cards.
2) Students must find objects or scenarios that represent numbers and determine the
least common multiple of those numbers.
3) Set a timer and encourage students to complete the scavenger hunt within a
specified time limit.

Assessment Questions:
2) Students must create an art piece that visually represents the least common
multiple of those numbers.
3) Provide time for students to present their art projects to the class, explaining the
connection to the least common multiple.

ANALYSIS:
Activity 1 - The scavenger allowed students to apply their knowledge of finding the
least common multiple in a real-world context. It assessed their ability to identify and
determine the least common multiple accurately. This activity connects to the
objective of knowing the least common multiple by providing practical examples
where this concept can be applied.
Activity 2 - The art project provided an opportunity for students to showcase their
understanding of the least common multiple creatively. It assessed their ability to
visually represent the concept and explain its connection to the numbers chosen.
This activity reinforces the objective of knowing the least common multiple by
encouraging students to think critically and creatively about the concept.
The main point of the objective "know least common multiple" is to understand how
to find the smallest multiple that two or more numbers have in common. By
identifying patterns and rules, students can deepen their understanding of the
concept. They will learn that the least common multiple is always greater than or
equal to the numbers being considered, and it can be found by prime factorization or
by using the method of listing multiples.
APPLICATION:
Task 1: Students will calculate the least common multiple of the bus arrival times the
train departure times at a transportation terminal to determine the best time to switch
between the two modes of transportation.
Task 2: Students will analyze the least common multiple of the production cycle time
and the delivery time in a manufacturing company to optimize their operations and
ensure timely deliveries.
ASSESSMENT:
Assignment Question: Explain how the concept of least common multiple is related
to prime factorization and greatest common divisor.
Assignment Question: How is the concept of least common multiple used in real-
life situations?
