LCM of Triad

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a mathematical practice sheet focused on finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of various sets of three numbers. It lists fifteen different number sets, each presented in a separate box, and provides space for students to write the LCM for each set. The worksheet does not offer examples or instructions on how to find the LCM, suggesting that it is meant for students who have already learned the necessary methods and are now in the phase of practicing and reinforcing their skills.

The worksheet’s educational goal is to enhance students’ proficiency in finding the LCM of not just pairs, but triples of numbers, which is a step up in complexity. It is teaching students to apply their knowledge of multiplication, division, and prime factorization to solve for the LCM in more challenging scenarios. This skill is vital for mathematical operations involving multiple terms, such as adding or comparing fractions with different denominators. Through repetitive practice, the worksheet aims to develop students’ number sense and their ability to manipulate and work with numbers in a critical mathematical process.
