Intro Facilitator greets learners and Learners respond based on their
5 min introduces the lesson by asking: prior knowledge of multiples.
"What do you understand by the Learners take notes as the facilitator
term multiple?" introduces the concept of LCM.
"What are some examples of .
multiples of 2 or 3?"
Facilitator explains that the LCM
is the smallest multiple that is
common between two or more
numbers.

Stage 1 Facilitator explains how to find Learners listen and take notes on the
15min the LCM of two or more numbers: steps for calculating the LCM.
1. List the multiples of each
number. Learners ask questions if they need
2. Identify the common multiples. clarification on the process.
3. Choose the smallest common
multiple.
Facilitator demonstrates with an
example, such as finding the LCM
of 4 and 5:
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24,
...
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,
30, ...
Common multiples: 20, 40, ...
LCM = 20
Facilitator provides another
example and works through it on
the board.
Stage 2 Facilitator provides another set of Learners calculate the LCM of the
10 min numbers, such as 6 and 8, and given numbers.
asks learners to calculate the LCM Learners share their answers and
on their own or in pairs. reasoning with the class.
Facilitator moves around the
class, assisting learners as
needed.
Example: Find the LCM of 6 and 8.
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, ...
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, ...
Common multiples: 24, 48, ...
LCM = 24
Conclusion Facilitator summarizes the key Learners jot down the exercise.
5 min points of the lesson: Learners ask any final questions.

The LCM is the smallest common


multiple of two or more numbers.
The steps to find the LCM: list
multiples, identify common
multiples, and select the smallest
common multiple.
Facilitator assigns exercise:
"Find the LCM of 12 and 15, and
14 and 18. Show all steps."
