" Among the greatest benefits of project-based learning (PBL) are gains in students' critical-thinking skills and development of their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. PBL is also an ideal way to help learners gain speaking and presentation skills indentified in the Common Core Standards. PBL in mathematics, particularly when completed in teams, helps learners "model with mathematics" as they "apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace," "use tools strategically," and "construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others," as noted in the Common Core Standards (2010) for Mathematical Practice.

In this activity, students identify multiples and factors and solve problems that involve finding highest common factors and lowest common multiples.
Students will need a good recall of multiplication basic facts in order to be able to do these activities. Activity One and Game Discuss the definitions of multiples and factors (on the student book page) before your students begin this activity. Make sure that they understand that every number is a factor of itself, because if they divide a number by itself, there is no remainder. For example, 12 ÷ 12 = 1 without a remainder, so 12 is a factor of 12.

Thus, if you subtract off the 165, what will remain will be the month in hundreds plus the day!
