6 Learning Objectives Suggested Teaching and LearningActivitiesLearning Outcomes Points to Note Vocabulary 6.

Understand and usethe knowledge of multiples of wholenumbers. Students use the divisibility test of2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and theircombinations.e.g.30 can be divided by 6.Therefore itcan be divided by 2 and 3 andvice-versa.i. List the multiples of wholenumbers.ii. Determine whether a number isthe multiple of another number.Emphasise thatthe list ofmultiples of anumber is also anumbersequence.Use smallnumbers todevelop

7 Learning Objectives Suggested Teaching and LearningActivitiesLearning Outcomes Points to Note Vocabulary 7. Understand thecharacteristics anduse the knowledge of common multiplesand LowestCommon Multiple(LCM) of wholenumbers.

Students find common multiplesand LCM by listing down themultiples of each given number.e.g.Multiples of 4 : 4, 8, 12, Multiples of 6 : 6, 12, Common Multiples of 4 and 6:12, 24, 36, 48, which are the multiples of 12. Use the method of primefactorisation to find commonmultiples and LCM.e.g.4 = 2 x 26 = 2 x 3Therefore the LCM of 4 and 6 is2 x 2 x 3 = 12.i. Find the common multiples of twoor three whole numbers.ii. Determine whether a number isthe common multiple of two orthree given numbers.iii. Determine the LCM of two or threegiven numbers.Emphasise that alist of commonmultiples is also

8 Learning Objectives Suggested Teaching and LearningActivitiesLearning Outcomes Points to Note Vocabulary Use algorithm to find the LCM.8. Understand and usethe knowledge of

common factors and Highest CommonFactors (HCF) ofwhole numbers. Students list down all the factors ofeach given number and identify thesame factors for each number. Students explore, identify anddetermine common factors ofwhole number.i. Find common factors of two or threewhole numbers.ii. Determine whether a number is acommon factor of two or three givenwhole numbers.iii. Determine the HCF of two or threegiven numbers.CommonFactorHighestCommo nFactor (HCF)4, 62, 31, 32231, 1LCM = 2 x 2 x 3=12

9 Learning Objectives Suggested Teaching and LearningActivitiesLearning Outcomes Points to Note Vocabulary Students find the HCF by listingdown all the factors of each givennumber.

Explore, identify and determine theHCF of whole numbers. Use the method of primefactorisations to find the commonprime factors and hence HCF.e.g.12 = 2 x 2 x 318 = 2 x 3 x 3Common Prime Factors: 2 and 3The HCF: 2 x 3 = 6 Use algorithm to find HCF.
