GCF and LCM Around the Clock Partner Activity | Greatest Common Factor Least Common Multiple
Give students a collaborative way to practice greatest common factor and least common multiple with this GCF and LCM Around the Clock Partner Activity. This resource includes both GCF and LCM problems, giving students practice deciding whether they are finding common factors or common multiples.
Each partner has their own clock with 12 unique problems. The problems are different for each partner, but the answers and clock placement are the same. This gives students a built-in way to compare answers, check work, and talk through mistakes if their results do not match.
Students begin with the problem marked by a star and glue it to the 12 o’clock spot. After solving, they find the matching answer at the top of another problem card and glue that card to the 1 o’clock spot. Students continue solving and matching until they move around the clock and return back to the 12 o’clock spot.
