Description

Finding LCM and GCF is easy with this Ladder Method Doodle Notes page. Use these notes to introduce or review the different ways the ladder method can be used – to find prime factorization, least common multiple, greatest common factor, and even to factor expressions.

  • This method of notes and examples is much more engaging than a regular notes worksheet!

Students can keep these notes in their notebooks and use them as a reference or study tool all year.

Included in this ladder method resource:

  • Doodle Notes page (2 versions):
    • One that’s completely blank, to be filled in
    • One that has the notes in the ladder filled in
  • Extra notes sheet about using the ladder method for factoring expressions, in case you haven’t used it for that purpose before.
    • You can use this for your information only or share it with students.
  • Answer key
  • Completed Doodle Notes sample page

Tips for Using the Ladder Method Doodle Notes

Encourage students to “color-code” their notes or add pictures or additional notes, etc, to help them remember the concepts.

  • For example, I used pink for the ‘prime’ definition and for the prime numbers I used on the ladder.
  • I used green for the check marks and the work/notes for checking.

Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and 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).
