1. Finding Common Factors
Explanation: Factors of a number are whole numbers that multiply to give
that number. Common factors are factors shared by two or more numbers.

Example Problem:

o Find the common factors of 18 and 24.


 Solution:
 Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
 Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
 Common factors: 1, 2, 3, 6

Practice Exercises:
o Find the common factors of the following pairs of numbers:
 (12, 16), (14, 21), (20, 30)
2. Measuring
Explanation: Measuring helps us find the size, length, or amount of
something. Common units are inches, feet, and yards.

Example Problem:

o Measure the length of a pencil in inches using a ruler.

Practice Exercise:

o Measure various objects in your home in inches and feet.


3. Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

Explanation: The GCF of two numbers is the largest number that divides both
numbers.


Example Problem:

o Find the GCF of 30 and 45.
 Solution:
 Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
 Factors of 45: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
 GCF: 15

Practice Exercises:

o Find the GCF of:
 (18, 24), (27, 36), (14, 35)

4. Reducing Fractions

Explanation: Reducing (or simplifying) fractions means making the fraction
as simple as possible by dividing the numerator and denominator by their
GCF.


Example Problem:

o Reduce 18/24 to its simplest form.
 Solution:
 GCF of 18 and 24 is 6.
 18 ÷ 6 = 3, 24 ÷ 6 = 4
 Reduced fraction: 3/4

Practice Exercises:

o Reduce each fraction to its simplest form:
 12/16, 15/35, 25/45

5. Proper and Improper Fractions



Explanation: Proper fractions have numerators smaller than denominators.
Improper fractions have numerators larger than denominators.


Example Problem:

o Identify if each fraction is proper or improper:
 7/10, 12/5, 9/4

Practice Exercises:

o Write 5 examples of proper and improper fractions.

6. Fraction Bar as a Division Symbol



Explanation: The fraction bar means "divide." For example, 3/4 means "3
divided by 4."


Example Problem:

o Write 3/5 as a division problem.
 Solution: 3 ÷ 5

Practice Exercises:

o Write each fraction as a division problem: 5/8, 7/2, 10/3.

Story Problems for Understanding


Throughout the guide, include story problems to help students relate math to real-life
scenarios.
Example:

Fraction Story Problem:

o Sarah has a chocolate bar that she divides into 8 pieces. She gives 3 pieces to her
friend. What fraction of the chocolate bar does she have left?

Solution:

o Total pieces = 8
o Pieces given away = 3
o Leftover = 8 - 3 = 5
o Fraction left = 5/8

1. Pictographs

Explanation: A pictograph uses symbols or images to represent data. Each


symbol represents a specific number of items.

Suppose we want to show the number of apples collected over 4 days. If each
apple picture represents 2 apples, the chart might look like this:

Number of
Day
Apples
Monday 🍎🍎🍎
Tuesday 🍎🍎
Wednesd
🍎🍎🍎🍎
ay
Thursda
🍎🍎🍎
y

Exercise:

Create a pictograph showing the number of books read by four friends in one month.

Assign each book symbol a value, such as 1 or 2 books, then draw or use cut-out symbols to represent
the total for each friend.

2. Bar Graphs

Explanation: A bar graph uses bars of different lengths to show data. Each
bar represents a category, and the height or length of the bar corresponds to
the data value.

Example:

o Imagine we’re showing the favorite colors of students in a class. Draw a bar graph
with colors on the x-axis and the number of students on the y-axis:

| Favorite Colors |
Color Number of
s Students
Red ▓▓▓▓▓ (5)
Blue ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ (7)
Green ▓▓▓ (3)
Yello
▓▓▓▓ (4)
w

o This graph could be drawn with vertical bars on graph paper or blank templates.

Exercise:

Create a bar graph showing the number of pets each student in a small group has at
home.

Label the x-axis with each student's name and the y-axis with numbers, and draw a bar
representing each student's pet count.

3. Line Graphs

Explanation: A line graph shows data that changes over time. Data points are
plotted and connected by a line to display trends.

Example

Track daily temperatures over a week and create a line graph with days
of the week on the x-axis and temperature on the y-axis.

Temperature
Day
(°F)
Monday 60
Tuesday 62
Wednesd
64
ay
Thursda
63
y
Friday 61

Plot each temperature as a point on the graph and connect the points
with a line.

Exercise:
o Record daily high temperatures for a week and draw a line graph to show the
changes.

Templates for Students to Practice

Provide blank templates for each graph type with a labeled x-axis and y-axis, so
students can focus on filling in the data. Here are template ideas:

1. Pictograph Template: Draw rows with pictures or symbols as placeholders.


2. Bar Graph Template: Include a blank bar graph grid with space for categories on the x-axis
and numerical values on the y-axis.
3. Line Graph Template: Use a grid with the x-axis labeled for time (e.g., days of the week) and
y-axis for data values (e.g., temperature).

Encourage students to use colors, add titles, and label each graph to make their data
presentation clear and informative.
