Which sheet to choose

In the Common Core, the greatest common factor of two numbers up to 100 and the least common multiple of two numbers up to 12 are grade 6 work, and the GCF and the LCM sheets keep to those limits. Start with the GCF or the LCM alone, then both for each pair, with numbers from 4 to 30. The sheet with prime factors uses numbers from 12 to 100 and suits a student who has met factor trees.

Finding the GCF and the LCM

The greatest common factor is the largest number that divides both: list the factors of each, 18 (1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18) and 24 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24), and take the largest in both lists, 6. The least common multiple is the smallest number both divide into: count up in 6s and in 8s, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 8, 16, 24, and the first number in both is 24. Multiplying the two numbers gives a common multiple, 48, but not always the least.

With prime factors

Break each number into primes with a factor tree: 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 and 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3. The GCF multiplies the primes the two share, 2 × 2 × 3 = 12. The LCM takes every prime of one number and adds those the other has left over: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 144. The GCF times the LCM always equals the two numbers multiplied: 12 × 144 = 36 × 48 = 1,728.

“Least common factor”

Searches often ask for the least common factor, but the smallest factor any two whole numbers share is always 1. What a sheet or a teacher means is nearly always the least common multiple or the greatest common factor, the two this page practises.

Counting money worksheets

Count the coins and write the total in cents: pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters drawn at their real size, six groups a page, totals under a dollar, with the answers on the key. Leave out the quarters for an easier sheet. New coins each time.

Number bonds worksheets

Number bonds to 10: the whole in the top circle, its two parts below, and one of the three left empty to fill in. Choose the largest whole, up to 100, and how many bonds; the answer key is on the last page.

Place value worksheets

Place value practice with numbers of 2 to 5 digits: half the questions ask what one digit is worth, as the 4 in 3,482 is worth 400, and half ask for the number in expanded form, as 3,000 + 400 + 80 + 2. The answer key is on the last page.

Measuring length worksheets

Six lines drawn at their true length, to measure with a ruler from the left end and write down to the nearest half inch, then two lines to draw at a given length, with a ruler to cut out at the foot of the page and the answers on page 2. Choose whole, half, quarter or eighth inches, or whole or half centimetres.

Measuring angles worksheets

Six angles a page, drawn at their true size from 10 to 170 degrees in steps of 5, to measure with a protractor and circle as acute, right or obtuse, with the answers on the key. One arm lies flat to start, pointing left or right; on the harder sheet both arms turn. New angles each time.

2D shapes worksheets

Eight flat shapes a page to name, and to count the sides and corners of: triangle, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, circle and oval, with the answers on the key. On the harder sheet each shape is turned and the triangles and rectangles change shape, so the name rests on the sides. New shapes each time.
