Swimming Schedules: Finding Common Days for Mrs. Greenwood and Ms. Moore

Mrs. Greenwood swims every 3 days, while Ms. Moore swims every 5 days at the community center pool. To determine how many times they will both be at the pool on the same day over the next ten weeks, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of their swimming schedules. This engaging problem highlights the importance of planning and scheduling in recreational activities, and students often find success in solving it by working backwards, demonstrating strategic problem-solving skills.
