Game: THE FROG FLIES
Aim: Help the frog catch the flies
Method:
Use keyboard arrow keys or tap your tablet/mobile to control the frog and catch the flies. Avoid the birds! Answer the math questions to win additional points.
Scoring is based on speed, flies caught and the number of correct answers.
7th grade / Number / Multiples Factors Primes / Multiples / LCM using product notation
To find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of two numbers, you need to find the smallest multiple that both numbers have in common. One way to do this is to use prime factorization and product notation. Here are the steps:
For example:
The prime factorization of one number is 2² x 3 x 5.
The prime factorization of the other number is 2 x 3² x 7.
The product notation is 2² x 3² x 5 x 7.
If required, you can simplify the product notation by multiplying the bases and their respective exponents. For example, 2² x 3² x 5 x 7 = 4 x 9 x 5 x 7 = 1260.
Here's an example of how to find the LCM of 12 and 15 using product notation:
Write each number as a product of prime factors.
Write the prime factors of each number in product notation, multiplying each factor by the highest power it appears in either number: 2² x 3 x 5. Note that the factor 5 appears in only one of the numbers but we still include it in the product notation.
To get the LCM as a number you can simplify the product notation by multiplying the bases and their respective exponents.
Therefore, the LCM of 12 and 15 is 2² x 3 x 5 in product notation, which is 60.
In this topic you are asked to use prime factorization to derive the lowest common multiple of 2 numbers and present your answer using product notation.
With our The frog flies math game you will be practicing the topic "LCM using product notation" from 7th grade / Number / Multiples Factors Primes / Multiples Factors Primes. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to identify the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 2 numbers using product notation.
Learn or revise math with our fun interactive game THE FROG FLIES! You are a happy hungry frog in the middle of the jungle in the middle of the night. Catch the flies for your supper (and practice math just for fun).
You can play the game on tablet/mobile or desktop computer. On handheld devices you move the frog by tapping where you want it to move to. On a computer, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move.
Sometimes a big bird swoops through the forest catching unwary amphibians so stay alert and get out of the way of its beak!
Scoring is based on flies caught, questions answered and number of deaths by bird. Your final score is your total points minus your time in seconds.
The highest scores for each topic can be saved and seen by clicking on the star button, so get learning and get your frog's name up in lights!
