Dear Family,
In this chapter, your child will learn about estimation, and factors
and multiples.
Some of the skills your child will practice are:
estimating, and choosing between an estimate and an
exact answer
fnding common factors and common multiples
identifying prime numbers and composite numbers
Activity
Finding common factors and common multiples of numbers is a
math skill that has numerous applications in everyday life.
Explain the following scenario to your child. Joe takes 4 minutes
to run around a track. Ali takes 6 minutes to run around the same
track. They start running from the start line at the same time.
Help your child work out how many minutes later Joe and
Ali meet again at the start line.
Use a chart like this to help you. The chart shows the time in
which each of them completes a certain number of laps.
1 lap 2 laps 3 laps 4 laps 5 laps 6 laps
Joe 4 min 8 min 16 min 20 min 24 min
Ali 6 min 24 min 30 min 36 min
Now, help your child see how this is linked to fnding the
least common multiple of 4 and 6. (12 minutes is 3 times
4 minutes and also 2 times 6 minutes.)

Estimation and Number Theory
Vocabulary to Practice
2 is a factor of 12, as 12 can be
divided exactly by 2.
The greatest common factor is
the greatest number among all
the common factors of two or
more numbers.
A multiple of a number is the
product of the number and any
other whole number except
zero. 12 is a multiple of 2.
The least common multiple is
the least number among all the
common multiples of two or
more numbers.

Estimada familia:
En este captulo, su hijo aprender sobre la estimacin y los
factores y mltiplos.
Algunas de las habilidades que practicar su hijo son:
estimar y elegir entre una estimacin y una respuesta
exacta
hallar factores comunes y mltiplos comunes
identifcar nmeros primos y nmeros compuestos
Actividad
Hallar factores comunes y mltiplos comunes es una destreza
matemtica que tiene numerosas aplicaciones en la vida
cotidiana.
Explique la siguiente situacin a su hijo. Joe tarda 4 minutos
en correr alrededor de la pista. Ali tarda 6 minutos en correr
alrededor de la misma pista. Comienzan a correr desde la lnea
de partida al mismo tiempo.
Ayude a su hijo a averiguar cuntos minutos ms tarde se
renen Joe y Ali en la lnea de partida.
Utilice una tabla como esta para ayudarle. La tabla muestra
la hora en que cada uno de ellos completa un determinado
nmero de vueltas.

Joe 4 min 8 min 16 min 20 min 24 min
Ali 6 min 24 min 30 min 36 min
Ahora, ayude a su hijo a descubrir de qu modo esto se
relaciona con la bsqueda del mnimo comn mltiplo de 4
y 6. (12 minutos equivale a 3 por 4 minutos y tambin 2 por
6 minutos.)
2 es un factor de 12, ya que 12
se puede dividir exactamente
entre 2.
El mximo factor comn es el
nmero mayor entre todos los
factores comunes de dos o ms
nmeros.
Un mltiplo de un nmero
es el producto del nmero y
cualquier otro nmero entero,
excepto cero. 12 es un mltiplo
de 2.
El mnimo comn mltiplo es
el nmero menor entre todos
los mltiplos comunes de dos o
ms nmeros.
