Decimal Operations and GCF Practice
This 10-problem practice set is designed for 6th graders to reinforce critical skills in adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals, as well as finding the greatest common factor (GCF) and using prime factorization. It also includes supporting standards on multi-digit division and the distributive property.
“Create 10 review problems for the following standards: 5. Fluently divide multi-digit whole numbers using a standard algorithm to solve real-world and mathematical problems. (Supporting) 6. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals using a standard algorithm. (Critical) 7. Use the distributive property to express the sum of two whole numbers with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. (Supporting) 8. Find the greatest common factor (GCF) and least common multiple (LCM) of two or more whole numbers. a. Use factors and multiples to determine prime factorization. (Critical)”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this set as a warm-up, a homework assignment, or a review activity before a quiz or test.
- Discussion question: How can understanding prime factorization help you find the GCF of larger numbers?
- For struggling readers, provide a multiplication chart or a list of perfect squares to assist with GCF calculations.
- Advanced learners can be challenged to create their own word problems that require multi-step decimal operations or GCF calculations.
- Estimated time: 30-45 minutes.
