LCM King
factors and multiples · least common multiple
To determine the least common multiple of whole numbers.
LCM King is a Grade 6 least common multiple game that turns each LCM calculation into movement on a game board. Players draw two whole-number cards, determine the least common multiple, and move their counter by that amount when the answer is correct. The exact-landing rule at the final square adds strategy because a large correct LCM is not always the best result near the end.
Use it for partner or small-group practice when students are learning to find least common multiples efficiently. The board movement gives students an immediate reason to check each LCM and compare methods such as listing multiples or using factorization.
