• identify what prime numbers and composite numbers are
• identify 3 scenarios of different denominators and the effective approaches to find their LCM
• use times table facts to find LCM of 2 or more numbers
• use "upside-down division" to find LCM of 2 or more numbers
• use factor tree to deduce the LCM of 2 or more numbers
• make connection of LCM to addition and subtraction of fractions
• add / subtract fractions with the same or similar denominator/s
