3. Review
Now, let’s see if you still
remember our past lesson.
What was our lesson yesterday,
Amira? Our lesson yesterday was about prime
and composite numbers.
Very good.
Now, look at the numbers that I
will show you and identify
whether it is a prime or
composite number.
Yes, we are.
Are you ready?

Very good!
4. Motivation
Now, we will play a game and we
will call it “Mix and Match”. In
this game, I will distribute
number cards to some of you.
When I say “Mix”, all of you will
mix with one another. When I
say “Match”, you need to look
for a partner who is holding a
number that when you multiply
both numbers, it will give the
answer that I am holding.
For example, I am holding a
number 20. If Liam is holding a
number 10, then he should look
for a partner who is holding a
number 2, since 10 times 2
equals 20. Yes, we did.
Did you get it? Yes, we are.
Are you ready, class?
Okay, let’s begin!
(The teacher will say “mix” and
will flash the number cards one
by one.) (The pupils will mix with one another.)
10 54 35
12 44 16
5 3 1 2 8 10
4 7 9 6 4 11
(The teacher will say “match”) (The pupils will find their partners to get
the answer which the teacher is
holding.)
10 1 10
54 9 6
35 7 5
12 4 3
44 4 11
16 2 8
Very good!
Thank you for your participation.
You may now take your seat.
B. Developmental Activities
1. Introduction
Kindly read the topic that we are
going to discuss today.
Everybody. Greatest Common Factor (GCF).
Thank you.
2. Discussion
Now, I will show you a word
problem. Kindly read it carefully,
Aaron. Lorein helps her mother in their
bakeshop. They baked 10 cookies and
20 cupcakes. They plan to pack them
separately in small boxes. What is the
biggest number of cookies and
cupcakes that can be placed in boxes if
these are of the same number?
Thank you, Aaron.
Let us analyze the problem.
What is asked in the word
problem? Prince. What is the biggest number of cookies
and cupcakes that can be placed in
boxes if these are of the same number?
Thank you.
Now, what are the given
numbers there? Yes, Ashley. The given numbers are 10 and 20.
Correct.
Now, we are going to discuss
how to get or find the Greatest
Common Factor or the GCF in
order to answer the given word
problem.
But first, please read the
definition of Greatest Common
Factor, Matthew. Greatest Common Factor (GCF) – the
largest whole number that is a factor of
all the given numbers.
Thank you, Matthew.
There are three different ways to
find the GCF of two or more
numbers.
What are those ways, Xyro?
Kindly read. Methods to Find the GCF
1. Listing Method
2. Prime Factorization
3. Continuous Division
Thank you.
Even though there are three
different methods, we are just
going to focus on continuous
division.
Here are the steps that we need
to follow. Will you read the first
step, Zyliah? Step 1: Write the given numbers
horizontally.
Thank you, Zyliah.
How about the second step,
Princess? Step 2: Find a prime number that can
divide all the given numbers.
Thank you, Princess.
How about the third step,
Maricris? Step 3: Divide the numbers by the prime
number. Write the quotient below.
Thank you.
What about the fourth step,
Xian? Step 4: Continue the process until no
other prime number is common. The
near prime divisor is 2 also.
Thank you, Xian.
How about the last step, Liam? Step 5: Multiply the common divisors.
Thank you.
Now, let’s go back to the given
word problem.
Again, what are the given
numbers there, Xyrenz? The given numbers in the word problem
are 10 and 20.
Correct.
Now, we will follow those steps
to get the GCF. First, we need to
write the given numbers
horizontally, which are 10 and
20.
After that, we will find a prime
number that can divide all the
given numbers.
What is a prime number that can
divide both 10 and 20, Hazel? The prime number that can divide both
10 and 20 is 5.
Very good.
Next, we will write 5 in the left
side, and divide 10 and 20 by it.
We will write the quotients
below.
What is the answer when you
divide 10 by 5? Yes, Angela.
The answer is 2.
Correct.
Then we will write 2 below
number 10.
How about when you divide 20
by 5? Yes, Zath.
The answer is 4.
Correct.
Let’s write it below 20.
Now, is there still a prime
number that can divide 2 and 4? Yes, there is.
What prime number is it? Yes,
Liam. 2.
Very good.
We need to write the answer
again on the left side.
What is the answer when you
divide 2 by 2? Aaron.
The answer is 1.
Correct.
How about when you divide 4 b
2? Yes, Shane.
The answer is 2.
Correct.
Is there still a prime number that
can divide 1 and 2?
There is none.
Correct.
Because 1 and 2 are both prime
numbers.
Now, we will multiply the
common divisors.
What are their common divisors,
Ryza? Their common divisors are 5 and 2.
Very good.
What is the answer when you
multiply 5 and 2? Zydan. The answer is 10.
Very good.
Now, let’s go back to the word
problem again and answer the
problem.
What is the biggest number of
cookies and cupcakes that can be
placed in boxes if these are of the
same number? Yes, Kylie.
The biggest number of cookies and
cupcakes that can be placed in boxes if
Very good. these are of the same number is 10.
Let’s give her a “fireworks clap”.
(The students will give her a “fireworks
clap”)
Do you understand how to find
the GCF using continuous
division now? Yes, we do.
Let’s have another example.
Kindly read the next word
problem, Marian. Mr. Bautista plans to organize the P.E
Club of 16 girls and 36 boys. What is the
biggest number of members each group
can have which would have an equal
number of boys and girls?
Thank you, Marian.
What are the given numbers,
Jeann? The given numbers are 16 and 36.
Correct.
Now, we will follow the first step.
Who wants to write the given
numbers on the board? Amira.
Thank you, Amira.
Next, who would like to write the
prime number that can divide
both 16 and 36? Yes, Faith.
Correct.
Who wants to do the next step?
Liam.
Good.
Now, is there still a prime
number that can divide 8 and 18?
Who wants to try to answer on
the board? Yes, Xyro.
Correct.
Who wants to do the next step?
Yes, Ashley.
Very good.
Is there still a prime number that
can divide 4 and 9?
There is none.
Then what is the answer on the
given word problem, Aaron?
The biggest number of members each
group can have which would have an
equal number of boys and girls is 4.
Very good!
Let us give those who answered
a “good job clap”. (The students will give them a “good job
clap”)
Let’s have a last example.
What is the greatest common
factor of 12, 24, and 36?
Who wants to answer on the
board? Xian.
Very good.
Let’s give him a “very good clap”.
(The students will give him a “very good
clap”)
3. Fixing Skills
Now that you already know how
to find the GCF using continuous
division, we will have a group
activity wherein I will show word
problems in front, and you are
going to analyze it and write your
answers on the illustration board
that I will give to you.
For your groupings, please count
1-3. (The students will count 1-3.)
You may now proceed to your
respective groupings quietly. (The students will proceed to their
respective groupings quietly.)
Take note that you have to
follow the steps of continuous
division. Meaning, you need to
write the numbers horizontally,
find a prime number that can
divide all the given numbers,
divide the numbers by the prime
number and write the quotients
below as well, continue the
process until no other prime
number is common, and last but
not the least, multiply the
common divisors.
You will be given only 1 minute
to answer every word problem.
Every correct answer is
equivalent to five points. The
group who will have the most
correct answers will be the
winner. In case of a tie, the group
who finishes first will win. Is it
clear? Yes, it is.
Are you ready? Yes, we are.
Let’s start now.
Arthur has 18 small shells and 12
big shells which he wants to
place in boxes. Each box should
have only one size of shell, either
all small or all big, and with equal
number of shells. What is the
greatest number of shells that
can be in one box?
Timer starts now! (The students will answer on the
illustration board.)
Your one-minute timer is done.
Kindly show me your answers
now. (The students will show their answers.)
Here is the next problem.
There are two pieces of ribbon.
One with a length of 63 inches
and another with a length of 42
inches are cut into pieces of
equal length without remainder.
Find the greatest possible length
that the pieces can be.
Timer starts now. (The students will answer on the
illustration board.)
Your one-minute timer is done.
Kindly show me your answers
now. (The students will show their answers.)
Last one.
Peter has 20 pesos in his pocket
and James has 25 pesos. They
want to give money to each
other. How much money will
they have left after they give to
each other the same but highest
possible amount?
Timer starts now. (The students will answer on the
illustration board.)
Your one-minute timer is done.
Kindly show me your answers
now. (The students will show their answers.)
Very good, everyone.
Our winner is the group .
What do you think is the reason
why they won? Yes, Amira. The reason why they won is because
they helped each other.
Very good.
It is because they showed unity
while doing the activity.
Now, what is the importance of
unity in group activities? Marian. Unity helps us to communicate with
each other better.
Correct.
What else, Ayeen? Having a unity in group activities allows
the group to achieve success.
Very good.
So, if you want your group to
achieve success, all of the
members must help and support
each other. Is that clear? Yes, it is.
All of you did a great job. Give
yourselves a “fireworks clap”. (The students will give themselves the
fireworks clap.)
C. Generalization
Agan, what did we discuss
today? Yes, Matthew. The topic that we discussed today is the
Greatest Common Factor.
Correct.
What is Greatest Common
Factor, Ayeen? The Greatest Common Factor is the
largest among the common factors of
two numbers.
Very good.
