1.2.4 / 6.NS.4
Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100;
Find the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12.
Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).
6.EE.1
Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole number exponents. / Day 1
Emphasize patterns found in prime, composite, perfect squares, odd, and even numbers. This should be showcased in relationship to factors, multiples, and squares.
