Today, my 5th graders explored finding the GCF using the Euclidean algorithm (as shown by the fabulous @howie_hua ) with both tactile & pen/paper versions. So empowering!🤩🎉@hickoryschools #numbersense #greatestcommonfactor #MTBoS

They loved it!! My girls are finding the GCF of 30 & 40 (I think they added an extra step at the very end, b/c they already had the GCF of 10), and he is finding the GCF of 26 & 12. Thank you so much! They will explore more tomorrow!👏🏼🎉
