The LCM and GCF Scavenger Hunt

The Scavenger Hunt provided a fun way for grade 6 students to practice finding the LCM and GCF of math word problems.

 I distributed for every student “LCM and GCF word problem cards”. Students started at any card and solved the problem. They then searched for the card with the answer to that problem. The search continued until all 8 problems were solved. As students were traveling around the classroom completing the scavenger hunt, they recorded their answers on the record sheet. My students and I loved this activity because it got students out of their seats and triggered cooperative learning among them. It was a great way to have fun in our Math class!
