Essential Questions:
• What is the factors and the multiples?
• How to find the factors and multiples of a number?
• What is the usage of factors multiples in daily life?
• What is the prime and the composite number?
• How to differentiate the prime and the composite number?
• What is the highest common factor (HCF) and the lowest common multiple (LCM)?
• HCF and LCM in daily life.
Learning Activities:
A . Opening/Introduction:
• Show the animation about the factor of a number in daily life
• Write a number as a product of its factors.
• Writes a number and its factors, and recognise which prime or composite number is
• Give another examples of the numbers which is prime or composite number
• Writes a number and its factors, then identify its prime factors with the aid of factor tree or
other method
• Gives the interactive worksheet about HCF to build students understanding about HCF
B. Main Activities:
• Explains a number is divisible by its factors and the remainder is zero
• Give the questions about factors and multiples by animation
• Give the difference between factors and multiples of a number, by animation
• Explains the concept of prime and composite numbers
• Give the difference between prime or composite numbers, by animation
• Play a game in groups related to prime or composite numbers on interactive game
animation
• Give the worksheet about factor and multiple to the students
• Give the worksheet about prime factorization and index notation
• Ask the student about HCF and LCM concept, then the teacher explain more clearly about
it with animation
C. Closing:
• Students will ask teacher about the materials that they do not understand
• Summarize the lesson that just learned
