Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1 Learners list the factors of two or more given whole numbers; 12 and 24 to list the factors. That is: 12 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}and 24 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24} Learners determine the set of the common factors E.g. The common set factors of 12 and 24 = { } 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 12 . Learners select the highest common factor of 12 and 24 as 12
E.g. 2 Learners may use Venn diagrams to find the common factors and then the highest common factor by placing the factors in the regions of the shapes. The highest common factor of 12 and 20, in the diagram is 4 Note: Do not introduce formal set theory and notation. Numbers in the common regions of the two shapes.
