1. Lesson Plan
Grade level: PK-6
Subject: Mathematics
Time: 30 Minutes
a. Lesson Overview
Students will practice the skills, which are of the greatest mutual factor, through carrying out a virtual Venn drawing to compute four numbers, which share a common factor. A sheet outline will be provided to the students in order  to explain how to start creating their own Venn diagram online  behind the program essaywritingstore.com . Grades will be awarded to the students based on the presentation of their diagram that is if they have all the required parts. Before conducting the whole exercise, students will be given time to compare the factors of each number they will have to write down.
b. Learning Objectives
Students are to build their own Venn diagrams after being provided with the instructional sheets and outline of how to create them, making sure to distinguish between original/criteria numbers and factor numbers.

Students are to identify the common factors between groups of numbers, all factors of the four numbers they use in their diagrams, and find the utmost common factor for all four numbers.

By the end of the lesson, students should demonstrate their competence in the skills of designing a Venn diagram.

  1. Content standards

Mutual basics: Mathematics level 6 Standard 2: students use the knowledge of division, fractions and multiplication. Students show the understanding of the relationship between division and multiplication and use this relationship to show in the content of the procedure of dividing fractions. Students should use the multiplication and division procedures to solve arithmetic problems. The overview section of the mutual basics should create students’ abilities to compute fluently with multi digit numbers and to find the multiples and factors.

  1. Technology standards

Technology concepts and standards: students appropriately use the selected applications productively and effectively

  1. Description of Instructional Context

The class goes to the computer lab to complete the assignment. Majority of the students are most likely to succeed in creating the Venn diagram on their own without the aid of the provided instructional sheet. I included the spreadsheet for the sake of students who will have difficulties in creating the diagram. Students will be allowed time in class, before going to the computer lab to put down the factors of each number.

  1. List of materials

Venn diagram instructional sheet, paper, and pencil for each student, Computer lab.

  1. Step-by-step lesson procedure.

Inform the students they are going to the computer lab. Remind them of the need to adhere to lab rules, which is to act responsibly, and be on task. Issue each student with an instructions sheet. Students should write down the mathematics problem in their notebooks. Find all the factors for the three numbers - 36, 24, and 16. Have the students work individually before they can compare the results with their neighbors.

In the computer lab students have to follow all the rules, in case of clarification they should ask the teacher. Students have to proof their works, and make sure they have entered the numbers correctly. Once done, students should head back to class.

  1. What is the Role of the Technology?

Taking the students to the computer lab makes the lesson more exciting, than if carried out in a class. The activity is also important in that students develop competence in using a computer to draw a Venn diagram.

  1. Assessment
  2. Description of learning outcomes.

The principle of this assignment is that all students get all correct factors for the numbers and figure common factors. The procedure is to first work on paper before comparing with a neighbor. Students should make sure they have all common factors and the greatest common factors are filled in the diagram.
