Procedure

First, you will copy the worksheet so that each student will have a copy.

Then, you will write an example on the board about LCM

Example:

Multiples of 6 - 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60

The LCM is 12.

After you have gone over the example, then you will pass out the worksheets so they can work on them independently.
