Week in ReviewThis week students were asked to think logically about 

multiplicative arithmetic.  They applied their knowledge of odd and even number properties and divisibility rules to find factors and multiples of given numbers.  Students also were asked to 

extend this application to consider common factors and multiples and find the greatest common factors (GCF) and least common multiples (LCM). 6.NS.4 Students ended the week by reviewing for their End of Module 2 Test that was taken on
