Instructional Procedure:
Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Drill
Let’s have drill on multiplication basic
facts using the game “I have… Who
Has…”
I ‘m going to distribute cards that you The pupils play the game “I have… Who
will read aloud. The student who has the Has…”
card with the correct answer to the A: I have 35. Who has 4 x 4?
previous student’s “Who Has...” question B: I have 16. Who has 10 x 3?
reads their card aloud. C: I have 30. Who has 3 x 8?
example: I have 16. Who has 10x3? D: I have 24. Who has 5 x 5?
You must listen for your turn and try not E: I have 25. Who has 6 x 6?
to break the chain. When the chain circles F: I have 36. Who has 9 x 3?
around to the first student, the game is G: I have 27. Who has 7 x 7?
over. H: I have 49. Who has 3 x 3?
I: I have 9. Who has 7 x 3?
J: I have 21. Who has 9 x 5?

3. Motivation
Show a picture of a girl sharing her foods
to others.

The girl is sharing her foods to others. She

What can you say about the girl?
is generous.
Do you also share your food to others?
Is it good to be generous? Why?
B. Developmental Activities
Yes, Ma’am!
Yes, It is good to be generous because it
makes others happy when we share
something to them.

1. Presentation
Let’s look at this problem.
Maria has 24 pieces of chocolate candies
and 32 pieces of fruity candies. She wants
to give each child the same amount of
candy so that no one feels left out. What is
the greatest number of children she can
give candy?

a. What does Maria have?
b. How many chocolate candies does
Maria have?
c. How many fruity candies does Maria
have?
d. What does Maria plan to do with the
chocolate and fruity candies?
a. Maria has chocolate and fruity candies.
b. Maria has 24 chocolate candies.
c. Maria has 32 fruity candies.
d. Maria plans to give the same amount of
candy to the children.

2. Performing the Activities

Group the pupils into 6 working teams to
answer the given problem.
Solution 1: Finding the Common Factors The pupils list the factors of 24 and 32.
and Greatest Common Factors (GCF) by 24 – 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24
listing the factors of 24 and 32 32 – 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, and 32
Common Factors : 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8
Greatest Common Factor: 8

Solution 2:Finding the Greatest Common The pupils write each number as a
Factor(GCF) of 24 and 32 by Prime product of its prime factors using a factor
Factorization tree.

3. Processing the Activities

a. What did you do to solve the problem? We solved the problem by first finding the
common factors then the Greatest
Common Factor (GCF) by the listing
method.

We also solved for the answer by writing

each number as a product of its prime
factors using factor tree or Prime
Factorization.

 Innovation: Using the Game : “I Have...Who Has...

In the drill part, I used the game “I have … Who has…” to test the skill of the
learners on the multiplication facts.

This is how to play the game:

1. Distribute the cards randomly to your pupils. Some pupils may get more than one
card. Select a pupil to begin by reading their card aloud. (example: I have 35. Who has
who has 4x4?)

2. The pupil who has the card with the correct answer to the previous pupil’s “Who
Has...” question reads their card aloud. (example: I have 16. Who has 10x3?) And so on.

3. The pupils must listen for their turn and try not to break the chain. When the chain
circles around to the first pupil, the game is over.

I Have … Who Has I Have … Who Has I Have … Who Has

4x4? 10 x 3 ? 3 x 8?
