text pages - n/a
homework - DUE TOMORROW (Tuesday, September 23, 2014)

      Use the Birthday Cake Method to find the GCF of these number sets. Show your work.         Hand it to me on a sheet of lined paper.

      a)  45     117

      b)  14r^2      42r

9/23 TUESDAY: (in class)

objective - use Upside Down Birthday Cake Method to find Least Common Multiple (LCM)
standard: Math.CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.B.4: Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. 
activities - practice divisibility rules, practice GCF and LCM
text pages - n/a
homework - DUE WEDNESDAY, September 23, 2014

      Use the Upside Down Birthday Cake Method to find the LCM of these number sets.               Show your work. Hand it to me on a sheet of lined paper.

      a)  18, 24, 36

      b)  5x^2y, 21xy^3

9/24 WEDNESDAY(in class)

objective - use Upside Down Birthday Cake Method to find Least Common Multiple (LCM)

--> We learned that when finding LCM for 2 numbers, we can use the numbers along the side and top of the Birthday Cake, but when we have MORE than 2 numbers for which we are finding the LCM, we only need to multiply the left over numbers on the top layer of the cake.
  
standard: Math.CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.B.4: Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. 
activities -  practice GCF and LCM
text pages: Prime Time 41

homework: DUE THURSDAY, September 24, 2014
Do questions a) and b) on page 41. Write your work on a lined sheet of paper.

9/25 THURSDAY(in class)

standard: Math.CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.B.4: Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. 
activities -  practice GCF and LCM using "Prime Time" book questions.

9/26 FRIDAY(independent work)

     1. Divisibility worksheet (given to you in class on Thursday).
