LI: To understand how to identify the highest common factor.
In maths, we have been learning about highest common factors (HCF). This is the largest number that can divide into two or more numbers without leaving a remainder. To work this out, I found all the factors of each number and then compared them to see which one was the highest they both shared. At first, it was a bit challenging to keep track of all the factors, but as I practised more, I started to notice patterns and became quicker at solving the problems. This helped me understand how numbers are connected and how it works. I now feel more confident finding the HCF and explaining my thinking clearly.
