Thank you to all the students for working so hard while I was gone. I hated missing so many days at the beginning of school; however, I have returned and we have a lot to cover this week!

Today we reviewed the "ladder method" that Mrs. Keys taught the students to identify the GCF and LCM for any 2 given numbers.

We applied this skill to solving real world (word) problems. The students need to be able to identify when a word problem is asking them to find the GCF or the LCM. Therefore, we took notes and I gave them a handout on this to take home and to keep in their math modeling binder. We worked on some problems in class and I assigned 6 problems (3 each) for homework. Below is the handouts we covered today.

Notes:
