PROCEDURE
• Go to the virtual “Operations, numbering, and

divisibility” topic and select the simulation
“Irrigation control in a greenhouse – LCM” (Figure
1).
• Read the situation/challenge. Then, click on the

icon to exit the challenge and access the
laboratory (Figure 2).
Fig. 1
• During the laboratory, you may click on the

information icon to read the situation, the
procedures or the equations as required. Click on
the help icon to see the answers to frequently
asked questions. If you want to stop the process
and clear the work station at any point, click the
trash can icon button . A calculator is provided
at the work station and can be identified using the
icon . The icon will allow you to answer the
additional questions (Figure 3).

1. Laboratory equipment and supplies
identification
• An irrigation control panel

• An indicator clock
2. Laboratory setup
• Consider the frequency of irrigation of each crop

presented in the scenario and the time at which
the operation begins.
• With the above information, answer the
questions presented in the irrigation Fig. 3
configuration interface, presented at the
beginning of the exercise (Figure 4). If you need
to modify the parameters already configured,
you can enter the interface again through the
settings button.
• Once you answer the questions in the irrigation

configuration, go to the control panel and
change the status from "Off" to "On" at each
hour corresponding to irrigation for each crop.
Remember to complete 24 hours according to
the intervals corresponding to each crop
irrigation, starting at the time indicated on the
Fig. 4
clock. (Figure 5).
• Once the irrigation sequences have been

configured for the three crops, press the "Start"
button to begin.
3. Calculations
• Use the information button to check the

concepts related to this laboratory practice.
• Consider each irrigation frequency.
• Determine what the L.C.M. means in this

case.
• From the start time of the irrigation operation,

determine when the crops will be watered at
the same time.
4. Additional questions
• At the laboratory, there is a button with an

available notebook for answers the
Fig. 6
additional questions related to this laboratory
practice (Figure 6).
• Note that there are four additional questions

to answer, and you can use the arrow button
to turn the pages.
• Click the buttons at the bottom of the

notebook to add or delete pages as required.

5. Conceptual questions and laboratory report
• Go to the assessment section and answer the

conceptual questions. After that, you can
generate the laboratory report (Figure 7).
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
Now, you find the expected answers to the additional questions. The answers must be recorded in the
notebook.
1. What does the L.C.M. mean in this laboratory? Answer.

2. If the L.C.M. were known in this scenario, could the irrigation hours for each crop be determined?
3. What would the G.C.F. mean in this lab? Answer.
4. List two examples where you can apply the M.C.D. concept in everyday life?
CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS
Multiple choice questions with only one answer.
Statement
You are the acrobat in a circus and have an act where you jump through three rings of fire. Each one passes in
front of you every 4, 3 and 5 seconds. Determine the following:
1. How often do the hoops pass in front of the acrobat?
a) Every 60 seconds.
b) Every 6 seconds.
c) Every 15 seconds.
d) Every 10 seconds.
2. If the 4-second ring is removed, how often will the other two rings pass in front of the acrobat?
a) Every 4 seconds.
b) Every 11 seconds.
c) Every 10 seconds.
d) Every 15 seconds.
3. If another hoop that passes every 2 seconds is added, how will alignment time of the acrobat be affected?
a) It cannot be determined yet.

b) It is increased to 120 seconds.
c) It is reduced to 30 seconds.
d) It continues for 60 seconds.
