3-2 Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)OR Greatest Common Factor (GCF) Objective: I can find the greatest common divisor of two or more whole numbers. Now set up the left side of the page & complete: • Page number: • Lesson title: Greatest Common Divisor/Factor • Learning goal: (write the objective in your own words) • What I know: (Write 1 or 2 sentences explaining what you already know about the lesson)
California Standards Preparation for NS2.4 Determine the least common multiple and the greatest common divisor of whole numbers; use them to solve problems with fractions (e.g. to find a common denominator to add two fractions or to find the reduced form for a fraction).
Why learn this? Party Planners can use the greatest common divisor to find the number of matching centerpieces they can make.
Vocabulary greatest common divisor (GCD) OR greatest common factor (GCF)
The greatest common divisor (GCD) of two or more whole numbers is the greatest whole number that divides evenly into each number. One way to find the GCD of two or more numbers is to list all the factors of each number. The GCD is the greatest factor that appears in all the lists.

Common Core Activity • 1. Stand up • 2. Hold your hand up • 3. The first person you see, slap hands and say what the G stands for in GCD • 4. The next person you see slap hands say what the C stands for in GCD • 5. The next person you see slap hands, say what the D stands for in GCD • 6. The last person say what GCD stands for!
Left side time! • What I learned: write 1-2 sentences about what you learned. Proof: Using the slide method, find the GCD of 28, 40 • Reflection:What’sthe error? A student used these factor trees to find the GCD of 50 and 70. The student decided that the GCD is 5. Explain the student’s error and show how to get the correct GCD.
