IV. Procedures

A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson

 Hello there! How are you? Do you miss being in school?

Now, let us start by, classifying the fractions as similar or dissimilar.

Do you still recall the difference between the two?

Similar fractions are fractions having the same denominators such as 3/4, 6/4, 11/4,
and so on.

Dissimilar fractions are fractions having different denominators such 4/5, 13/5, 32/5,
and so on.

You may now start classifying the following fractions as similar or dissimilar:

1. 12/7 and 3/8 Ans. _______________

2. 4/5 and 9/5 Ans. _______________
3. 10/3 and 3/10 Ans. _______________
4. 2/9 and 19/9 Ans. _______________
5. 14/5 and 13/10 Ans. _______________

 Next, I want you to change the following dissimilar fractions to similar.
But wait, do you still recall how to change dissimilar fractions to similar?

Suppose you have 2/3 and 1/4.

To make dissimilar fractions similar, say, 2/3 and 1/4:

o Let D = denominator; N = Numerator;

o LCM = Least Common Multiple LCD = Least Common Denominator
o Determine the least common multiple (LCM) between the denominators 3 and 4
o the multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, …
o the multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, …
o Notice that 12 is the least among the multiples.
o Therefore, 12 is the least common multiple or LCM.
o Using the LCM 12 as the new denominator for both fraction

(LCM ÷ D) x N (LCM ÷ D) x N

12÷3 = 4 12÷4 = 3
Multiply the numerator 2 by the result 4 Multiply the numerator 1 by the result 3

2x4=8 1x3=3

Therefore,

Now your turn, change the following dissimilar fractions to similar:

1. 3/8 and ½ Ans. _______________
2. 3/5 and ¼ Ans. _______________
3. 4/6 and 4/8 Ans. _______________
4. 2/3 and 1/6 Ans. _______________
5. 2/8 and 1/5 Ans. _______________

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

How do you spend your weekend? Give activities that you do at home. What fraction of the day do
you spend in helping in the household chores?

C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson

Problem Opener
Lito spends 1 41 hours gardening and 1 41 hours doing household chores on weekends. How
many hours of the day does he spend profitably on weekends?

MALPITIC INTEGRATED SCHOOL Page 2

  You need to provide answers for the following questions.
1. What are the things you must look for in a problem before solving it?
2. What is asked in the problem?
3. What facts are given?
4. What operation are you going to use to solve the problem?
5. Can you solve the problem mentally?
6. What profitable things does Lito do on weekends?
7. What profitable things do you do on weekends?
8. What profitable hobby can you do on weekends?

D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1

Not let us answer the problem opener using the AGONA strategy.
Lito spends 1 41 hours gardening and 1 41 hours doing household chores on weekends.
How many hours of the day does he spend profitably on weekends?
Let us answer this problem following the steps in problems:

Asked : The number of hours of the day he spend it profitably

Given : 1 41 hours gardening , 1 41 hours doing household chores

Operation : Addition (because of the key he spend profitably on those days)

Number Sentence : number of cups of hours = 1 41 + 1 41

Solution 1: 1 41 + 1 41 = or

Answer : Lito spends hours profitably.

For similar fractions, addition of fractions is the same as combining or putting together, just like when
adding whole numbers. For subtraction, it involves taking away or deducting things just like subtraction of
whole numbers.
To add or subtract similar fractions:
1. simply add or subtract the numerations.
2. write this sum or difference over the common denominator.
3. simplify or write the answer in lowest terms if necessary.

Example 2 : Add: + =N

Step 1: Write the given +

Step 2: Add the numerators and copy the =

common denominator

Step 3: Simplify by dividing both numerator

and denominator by the GCF 3

Try working on the next example Example 3 : =N

 You may choose to answer using the steps I gave you or you may use bars to find the correct answer.
 You should get as your final answer whether you use the step by step procedure or the bar.
 If you get the correct answer you may proceed with Example 4.
 If not, I am sorry but you have to go back to example number 1 and try all over again.

MALPITIC INTEGRATED SCHOOL Page 3

 Example 4 : Subtract: - =N
 You should get as your final answer.
 If you get the correct answer you may proceed with the next part of the lesson.
 If not, I am sorry but you have to go back to example number 1 and try all over again.

 Dissimilar Fractions
Dissimilar fractions are fractions with different denominators. To add or subtract dissimilar fractions, rewrite
them dissimilar fractions first just like what we have done in the Review. The sum will be represented by
adding the numerators over the common denominator while the difference will be represented by subtracting
the numerators over the common denominator. Simplify the sum or difference if needed.

Let us try.
Example 5: Add: +

 Solution:

Step 1: Determine the LCD. The LCD between 2 and 5 is 10

Step 2: Get the equivalent fractions +

+ =

Step 3: Add the numerators over the common denominator = =

Step 4: Answer + =
Example 6: Example 7:

Example 8 : Subtract: - =N

For this example, I want you to fill in the blanks to complete the steps and get the correct answer.

Step 1: Determine the LCD between 6 and 24 The LCD between

multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24
multiples of 24: 24, 28, 72,
24 and 6 is ____.

Step 2: Get the equivalent fractions - =

MALPITIC INTEGRATED SCHOOL Page 4
 Step 3: _______ the numerators over the =
common denominator

Step 4: Answer =

To add or subtract dissimilar fractions:

1. Determine The Least Common Denominator (LCD).
2. Get The Equivalent Fractions.
3. Add Or Subtract The Numerators Then Write The Sum Or Difference Over The
Common Denominator.
4. Simplify Or Write The Answer In Lowest Terms If Possible.

Day 2

 Mixed Fractions
Mixed fractions are fractions that have a whole number part and a proper fraction part, such as 1 ½ and 10
2/5. How will you add or subtract or subtract mixed fractions?

We first add or subtract the whole numbers then the fractions, and express the answer in lowest terms if
possible.

Example 9 Add: 3 + 1 =N

 Solution 1:

Add the whole numbers and then the fractions

3 + 1 = (3+1) ( + )= 4

Simplify the answer 4

Example 10:

Sometimes we must first write the fractional parts as fractions with a common denominator before we can
add or subtract.

Example 11: Subtract: 10 -7 =N

MALPITIC INTEGRATED SCHOOL Page 5

 Solution:

Step 1: Determine the LCD The LCD between 6 and 8 is 24

between 6 and 8
multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, …
multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, …

Step 2: Get the equivalent fractions 10 - 7 =

=
Step 3: Subtract the whole numbers.
Then subtract the numerators
over the common denominator 10 - 7 =( ) ( )

Step 4: Answer =

Day 3

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2

Example 1:

Ingredients for a Pastry Recipe

cups flour cup grated cheese

1 egg
cup minced raisins

cup chopped nuts 1 cup of milk

Above is a recipe of a pastry that you may use with your mother.
You will answer some questions about the recipe given.
1) Do you like pastries? ( yes or no)
2) What do you call a person who makes pastries? ( Is it a pastry chef or a painter?) ________
3) What are the ingredients of the recipe above? Put a check on them.
(flour, nuts, egg, raisins, milk, cheese)
4) What ingredient is the least in amount needed? Nuts. But why?
5) What ingredient is the biggest in amount needed? Flour. But why?
6) What is the difference between the biggest amount of ingredient needed and the least amount of
ingredient? What operation will you use?
Because of the word difference we will use subtraction.

The number sentence is - =N

The denominators are similar so you can subtract now. The difference is 2 cups.

7) What is the total amount of ingredients except for the egg?

Because of the word total we will use addition.

The number sentence is + =N

The fractions are dissimilar so you need to make them similar first before adding.
+ + + + 1=N

Since the LCM for 2 3 and 4 is 12, their LCD is 12 too.

(multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, …)
(multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, …)

MALPITIC INTEGRATED SCHOOL Page 6

 (multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, …)

+ + + + 1=N

The total amount of the ingredients is 3 or 4 cups

8) What is the difference between the cup of milk and the grated cheese?

Because of the word difference we will use subtraction.

The number sentence is 1- =N

The first fraction is a whole number so you need to make it a fraction. Its fraction is so you will not

find for the LCD. The number sentence now is - = N.

The difference is cup.

Example 2
Nadia prepared litres of buko juice and litres of calamansi juice to sell
one Saturday. How much more calamansi juice did she prepare than buko
juice? How many liters of juice did she prepare in all?

Ask: a. How much more calamansi juice did she prepare than buko
juice?
b. The litres of juice she prepared in all.
Given:
litres of buko juice, litres of calamansi juice

Operation: a. By subtracting the amount of buko from calamansi

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living

Here are ways fractions get into our daily life.

PIZZA FOR EVERYBODY: Mealtime does not have to be a battle about who got more. Use
fractions to split the pie evenly.

You can use your knowledge in adding or subtracting measurement of ingredients in cups in a
recipe or kilograms in meat so you can cook a menu

Can you think of other ways on how fractions are applied in real -life?
