WHOLE NUMBERS
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Identify the place value and value of a digit in the numeral;
➢ Read and write numbers through 9 000 in symbols and in words; and
➢ Solve word problems involving place value.
Discussion
Our numeration system is called Hindu-Arabic or Decimal System. Unlike other
numeration systems such as the Roman Numeration, the Hindu-Arabic system uses place value
which makes it easier to read numbers. Let us take a look at the following place value chart.
In a four-digit number, the place value of each digit from left to right are: thousands,
hundreds, tens and ones.
The place value chart below shows the number 4 728. How do we read this number?
1
The table below shows the place value and value of each digit in the number 4 728. Observe
that the value is simply the product of the digit and its place value.
Digit Place Value Value
word figure
8 ones 1 8x1=8
2 tens 10 2 x 10 = 20
7 hundreds 100 7 x 100 = 700
4 thousands 1 000 4 x 1 000 = 4 000
One way of making students visualize place value is by using blocks such as ones shown.
The number represented by the blocks is 1 thousand, 1 hundred, 1 ten, 1 one or 1 000 + 100 + 10 +
1 which is equal to 1 111.

LESSON 2: Addition of Whole Numbers
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Visualize the concept of addition;
➢ Add one to three-digit numbers; and
➢ Solve word problems involving addition.
Discussion
Originally, the Philippines has a total of 7 107 islands. Lately, 534 new islands are added which
makes our total number of islands as 7 641. It means that 7 107 + 534 = 7 641.
In the addition sentence 7 107 + 534 = 7 641, 7 107 and 534 are called addends while 7541
is called sum. Addends are the numbers being added while sum is the result in addition.
Addition is the process of putting two or more numbers or things together. For instance, let
us illustrate the following: 3 mangoes added by 4 mangoes total 7 mangoes.
The illustration above clearly shows that to find the total number of mangoes, we can simply
count them from left to right. The addition sentence would be 4 + 3 = 7.
Another way to illustrate addition is through block model which is shown below.

It shows that 4 + 3 = 3 + 4 = 7. This is called Commutative Property of Addition. It says that
the order of the addends does not affect the sum.
4
2. Associative Property of Addition
Another property of addition is Associative Property. It says that changing the grouping of the
addends does not affect the sum. For example, the sum of (8 + 7) + 2 is equal to the sum of
8 + (7 + 2).
(8 + 7) + 2 = 8 + (7 + 2)
15 + 2 = 8 + 9
17 = 17
Step 2: Add the digits in the ones place, tens place, then the hundreds place.
Hundreds Tens Ones
Place Place Place
7 4
+ 1 6 2
6
In the tens place, since 7 tens plus total 13 tens, then rename 13 tens as 1 hundred and 3
tens; write the 3 tens in the tens digit of the sum and regroup the 1 hundred with the hundreds digits
of the addends, then add.
2 3 6
The sum of 74 and 162 is 236.

LESSON 3: Subtraction of Whole Numbers
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Visualize the concept of subtraction;
➢ Relate subtraction with addition;
➢ Subtract one to three-digit numbers; and
➢ Solve word problems involving subtraction.
Discussion
Subtraction is another operation we need to learn as it is very useful in daily life. Subtraction
is the process of taking away one number from another. For instance, if an older saltwater crocodile
has a length of 6 meters while the younger has a length of 4 meters, then what is the difference in
their lengths?
To find the difference, we subtract 4 from 6. Let us represent this situation using an illustration.
Older
difference
Younger
The illustration shows that the difference between 6 and 4 is 2. It means that 6 – 4 = 2.
Another way to show this is by using the inverse operation of subtraction which is addition.
That is 4 + _____ = 6. So, what should be added to 4 to get a sum of 6? This shows that subtraction
is like finding the missing addend.
In 6 – 4 = 2, 6 is called minuend. It is the number being subtracted from. The number 4 is
called the subtrahend or the number used to subtract. Then, 2 is called difference or remainder, which
is the answer in subtraction.
Subtraction is the inverse operation of addition. It means that 6-4 =2 may be translated into
an addition sentence which is:
Subtraction sentence Addition sentence
6–4=2 2 + 4 =6 or 4+2=6
Subtraction of Two-to Three-Digit Numbers
Let us learn how to subtract two-digit numbers by solving the following word problems.
7
Problem 1:
Keneth Kyle has Php 79. He bought a piece of sandwich at Php 25, How much money does
he have left?
To solve the problem, we subtract 25 from 79.
To subtract two-digit numbers, we may use the following steps:
Step 1: Arrange the numbers so that the digits of the same place value fall on the same column.
Tens Place Ones Place
7 9
- 2 5
7 9
- 2 5
5 4
Problem 2:
Gian has a collection of 342 keychains. Of these, 157 are foreign and the rest are Philippine
made. How many of her keychains are Philippine made?
To find the answer, subtract 157 from 342.
Step 1: Arrange the numbers in column.
8
Step 2: Subtract the digits in the ones place.
Observe that 2 ones of the minuend is less than 7 ones of the subtrahend. In this case,
rename 4 tens of the minuend as 3 tens and 10 tens, then regroup the 10 ones with 2 ones to make
12 ones. Now , subtract 7 from 12.
Hundreds Tens Ones
Place Place Place
3 12
3 4 2
- 1 5 7
5
Step 3: Subtract the tens.
Since 3 tens of the minuend is again smaller than 5 tens of the subtrahend, then
rename 3 hundreds of the minuend as 2 hundreds and 10 tens, then regroup 10 tens with 3 tens to
make 13 tens. Subtract the tens digits.
Hundreds Tens Ones
Place Place Place
2 3 12
3 4 2
- 1 5 7
1 8 5
Step 4: Subtract the hundreds digits.
Therefore, Gian has 185 Philippines-made keychains.

LESSON 4: Multiplication of Whole Numbers
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Express multiplication as repeated addition;
➢ Identify the properties of multiplication;
➢ Master the basic multiplication facts ; and
➢ Solve multi-step word problems involving addition, subtraction and multiplication.
Discussion
Multiplication as Repeated Addition
In multiplication sentence 830 x 2 = 1 660, 830 and 2 are called factors while 1 660 is
called product.
Find the sum of the following.
1. 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 =
2. 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 =
3. 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 =
In the exercises above, observe that the same numbers are being added repeatedly. In this
case, we can find the answer using another operation which is multiplication.
Multiplication is called repeated addition since adding the same number repeatedly may be
expressed as multiplication instead. Let’s take a look at the following examples.
1. 4+4+4+4+4+4+4 7 groups of 4 or 7 x 4 28
2. 3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3 8 groups of 3 or 8 x 3 24
3. 8+8+8+8+8+8 5 groups of 8 or 5 x 8 40
Properties of Multiplication
1. Commutative Property of Multiplication
When the order of the factors is changed, the product is still the same.
11
Example: (2 x 8) x 5 = 2 x (8 x 5)
16 x 5 = 2 x 40
80 = 80
2. Associative Property of Multiplication
The grouping of the factors does not affect the product.
Example: (2 x 8) x 5 = 2 x (8 x 5)
16 x 5 = 2 x 40
80 = 80
3. Identity Property of Multiplication
When a number is multiplied by 1, the product is the number itself.
Example: 10 x 1 = 10 1x8=8
4. Zero Property of Multiplication
Any number multiplied by zero is zero.
Example: 0x6=0 18 x 0 = 0
Evaluation
A. Give the multiplication sentence and the product
1. 5 + 5 + 5 = _________________________________________

Dave. If Dave has 8 marbles, how many marbles do the three boys have in all?
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Relate division as repeated subtraction;
➢ Express division as inverse operation of multiplication;
➢ Find the quotients of basic division facts; and
➢ Solve multi-step word problems involving division and the other operations.
Discussion
The process of division can be expressed as:
5
10
10 ÷ 2 = 5 or = 5 or 2 10
2
Where,
10 is called the dividend or the number being divided;
2 is called the divisor or the number that divides; and,
5 is called quotient or the answer in the division.
Let us now apply all the operations we have learned by solving the following word problem.
Jake has Php 100. He gave Php 35 to each of her two friends. She then spent a third of the
amount left. How much does she have now?
Let’s solve the problem using the following illustration:
100
35 35
The illustration clearly shows that to find the amount left after Jake gave Php 35 each to his
two friends, we simply subtract 2 x 35 or 70 from 100, which is Php 30. Since he spent a third of the
remaining amount, then our next illustration would be
100
35 35
It shows that the amount left, which is Php 30, is to be divided into three equal parts. So, 30
÷ 3 = 10. Since she spent a third of the remaining amount or Php 10, then what she has left is 30 –
10 = 20. Therefore, Jake has Php 20 left.

At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Illustrate fraction as part of a whole, set, region and unit;
➢ Distinguish kinds of fractions; and
➢ Solve word problems involving fraction.
Discussion
Liorah brought home a plate of rectangular banana cake. She sliced the cake into 4 equal
parts. Her son, Jeff, ate one slice of it. What part of the cake did Jai eat?
“What part” refers to a fraction. This means that fraction is a part of a whole. One slice of a
cake represents one-fourth. One-fourth in symbol is
1 numerator
fraction bar
4 denominator
The number above the fraction bar is called numerator. It tells the number of slices of banana
cake Jeff ate.
The number below the fraction is called denominator. It tells the number of equal parts into
which the whole banana cake is divided.
The fraction bar or the line that separates the numerator from the denominator is called
vinculum.
Fraction could also be used to identify part of the set.

LESSON 3: Comparing and Ordering Fractions
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Visualize similar and dissimilar fractions;
➢ Compare fractions using relation symbols;
➢ Order fractions in increasing and decreasing order; and
➢ Solve word problems involving comparing and ordering fraction..
Discussion
Identical twins look similar while fraternal twins look different or dissimilar. Fractions can also
be classified as similar or dissimilar. Let’s have an example.
2
Gian, Keneth, and Andrew are best friends. They like to drink orange juice. Gian drank pitcher
5
3 1
of juice, Keneth drank pitcher of juice and Andrew drank pitcher of juice.
5 2
2 3 1
5 5 2
Both the wholes in two-fifths and three-fifths are divided into 5 equal parts while the whole in
one-half is divided into 2 equal parts.
2 3
Thus, we can say that and are similar fractions. In other words, similar fractions are wholes
5 5
divided into equal parts or they are fractions with the same denominators.
2 1
On the other hand, the divisions of the wholes of and are not the same. They have different
5 2
2 1
denominators. So, we can say that and are dissimilar fractions.
5 2
Fractions can also be compared using relation symbols such as greater than (>), less than (<)
or equal to (=). Let us use a part of the problem from the previous example.
2 3
Gian drank pitcher of juice while Keneth drank pitcher. Who between the boy drank a
5 5
greater amount of juice?
22
To compare these fractions, we can illustrate them as follows.
2 3
5 5
2 3
Based on the shaded parts, we can say that is less than . In symbols, we can illustrate this
5 5
2 3
as < . Therefore, we can say that Keneth drank a greater amount of juice than Gian.
5 5
2 3
Since we have already known that and are “similar fractions” we can now generalize that
5 5
without illustration, we can compare the fractions based on their numerators. That is, the bigger the
numerator, the greater the fraction is or the smaller the numerator, the lesser the fraction is.
We can also arrange fractions in increasing or decreasing order.
2 3 1
How do we arrange , , and in ascending order?
5 5 2

ranked second occupying about of the island’s population.
5
What fraction of the population of Panay and Guimaras islands is the combined population of
Iloilo and Capiz?
To find the fraction that the population of Iloilo and Capiz represent, we need to add them.
2 1
Putting it in a number sentence, we have + = N, where N represents the total population of the
5 5
provinces.
2 1
Since we have already known that is two out of five equal parts of the whole and is one put
5 5
of five equal parts, we could illustrate the number sentence as follows:
+ =N
Counting the number of shaded parts, we can say that there are three shaded parts or there
are three fifths. We could illustrate it as follows:
+ =

Discussion
In geometry, a three-dimensional shape can be defined as a figure or an object or that has
three dimensions – length, width and height. Unlike two-dimensional shapes, three-dimensional
shapes have thickness or depth.
Pyramids are examples of 3-dimensional figures. Other 3-dimensional shapes are cube,
rectangular prism, cone, cylinder and sphere.
A pyramid can be represented as follows:
Pyramid is a three-dimensional object. It has length, width and height.
Looking at the pyramid, we could see that it is made up of a rectangular base and triangular
faces.
Three-dimensional objects are also called as solid figures or simply solids.

LESSON 4: Symmetry
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Identify shapes /figures that show symmetry in a line;
➢ Draw the line of symmetry in a given figure in a line; and
➢ Complete a symmetrical figure with respect to a given line of symmetry.
Discussion
The image of the butterfly can be divided into two equal parts as shown below.
Symmetric means that a figure forms two equal parts or mirror image of the other when folded.
The line that divides the figure into two equal parts is called the line of symmetry.
Here are other examples.
The heart has one line of symmetry while the square has four lines of symmetry.
In a square, you can draw one line of symmetry either vertically or horizontally. Two slanting
lines of symmetry can also be drawn. This means that there are four possible lines of symmetry which
can be drawn in the square.

MEASUREMENT
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Convert one time measure into another;
➢ Compute for the exact amount of time between two given times; and
➢ Solve word problems involving time measurement.
Discussion
Time measurement is very important for us to learn because we are using it almost the whole
day every day. The words minute, hours, days and years are all measures of time. How long is each
of these? Study the table and the examples that follow.
1 min (minute) = 60 s (seconds)
1 h (hour) = 60 min
1 day = 24 h
1 week = 7 days
1 month = 30 days (April, June, September, November)
31 days (January, March, May, July, August,
October, December)
28 days (February on Regular year)
29 days (February on leap Year)
1 y (year) = 365 days (366 on a leap year)
1 decade = 10 y
1 century = 100 y
44
Example 1: How many minutes are in 3 hours?
Solution: Since 1 h – 60 min, then multiply 60 x 3 = 180. So, 3 h is equal to 180 min.
Example 2: How many hours are in one-half day?
1 1
Solution: There are 24 h in 1 day. For day, multiply x 24 or divide 24 by 2 to get 12 h.
2 2
2 2
Example 3: How many seconds are in 4 minutes?: (4 x 60) + ( x 60) = 240 + 40 = 280 min.
3 3
2 2
Solution: There are 60 s in a minute, so 4 min : (4 x 60) + ( x 60) = 240 + 40 = 280 min.
3 3
Example 4: roger started doing his project at 5:40 p. m. and finished it at 7:45 p.m. How long did he
do his project?
Solution: To find the time for the project, use the formula below:
Amount of Time Spent = Time finished - Time Started
hour minute
Time Finished 7 45
Time Started 5 40
Time Spent 2 5
Example 5: Liorah Jayne went driving. She left at 10:30 a.m. and arrived at 3:15 p.m. How long did
she drive?
Solution: Subtract 10:30 from 3:15.
hour minute
Time Arrived 3 15
Time Left 10 30
Time Travelled
Observe that the number of minutes in the minuend is smaller than that of the subtrahend. In
this case, rename the 3 hours as 2 hours and 60 minutes and regroup the 60 minutes with 15 minutes
to make 75 minutes. Then proceed to subtraction.
hour minute
Time Arrived 2 75
Time Left 10 30
Time Travelled 45
45
Since the number of hours in the minuend is smaller than that in the subtrahend, we can
always add 12 hours due to the fact that time is modulo 12. It means that the number of hours in the
minuend will become 14. We can now subtract.
hour minute
Time Arrived 14 75
Time Left 10 30
Time Travelled 4 45

LESSON 2: Length, Mass, and Volume
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Convert units of measure of lengths, mass, and volume from smaller to larger and vice
versa; and
➢ Solve word problems involving units of measure of length, mass, and volume.
Discussion
The length of Cagayan River is 505 km. Kilometer (km) is a unit of length or distance; hence,
it may also be expressed in other units such as meter (m), decimeter (dm), and so on. For mass, the
units used in the metric system are kilogram (kg), gram (g), centigram (cg), and so on. On the other
hand, the units used for volume are liter (L), milliliter (mL), and so on.
For this lesson, we will only learn the units presented on the table below. Study the table and
the examples that follow.
1 km = 1 000cm
To review, when converting from one unit to another, the rules are:
from bigger to smaller unit – multiply
from smaller to bigger unit – divide
Example 1: How many meters are in 4 kilometers?
Solution : 1 km = 1 000 m; So, 4 km = 4 x 1 000 = 4 000 m

LESSON 3: Perimeter
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Visualize the concept of perimeter;
➢ Find the perimeter of figures; and
➢ Solve word problems involving perimeter.
Discussion
What is Perimeter?
In geometry, perimeter can be defined as the path or the boundary that surrounds a shape. It
can also be defined as the length of the outline of a shape.
The word perimeter has been derived from the Greek word ‘peri’ meaning around, and ‘metron’
which means measure. Perimeter is the total length of the sides of a two-dimensional shape.
We often find the perimeter when putting up Christmas lights around the house or fencing the
backyard garden. Other examples may include finding the total length of the boundary of the soccer
field or the length of the crochet or ribbon required to cover the border of a table mat.
How to find perimeter?
We use a ruler to measure length of the sides of a small regular shape. The perimeter is
determined by adding the lengths of the sides/edges of the shape.
For small irregular shapes, we can use a string of thread and place it exactly along the
boundary of the shape, once. The total length of the string used along the boundary is the perimeter
of the shape.
The perimeter of all polygons can be determined by adding the lengths of their sides/edges.
Regular Polygons Irregular Polygons

LESSON 4: Area
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Visualize the concept of are;
➢ Find the area of two-dimensional figures; and
➢ Solve word problems involving area.
Discussion
What is Area?
In geometry, the area can be defined as the space occupied by a flat shape or the surface of
an object. The area of a figure is the number of unit squares that cover the surface of a closed figure.
Area is measured in square units such as square centimeters, square feet, square inches, etc.
The area of the squares below, with unit squares of sides 1 centimeter each, will be measured
in square centimeters (cm²).
The origin of the word area is from ‘area’ in Latin, meaning a vacant piece of level
ground. The origin further led to an irregular derivation of area as ‘a particular amount of
space contained within a set of boundaries.
We often find the area of the room floor to determine the size of the carpet to be
bought. Covering the floor with tiles, covering the wall with paint or wallpaper or building a
swimming pool are other examples, where in the area is computed.
Common simple shapes and polygons have their own formulae for calculating area.
Here’s how area of common 2-D or Two-Dimensional shapes is computed:

and Pasay City – 13.97 sq. km.
This list of cities with their corresponding land areas can be called as data. Data is information,
especially facts or numbers, collected to be examined and considered.
The data above can be presented in table. A Table is made up of columns and rows which is
used to make presentation of data or information clearer, more organized and more attractive. The
title of the table is written at the top center. Each column has a title which is called column header.

LESSON 2: Pictographs
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Interpret pictographs; and
➢ Construct pictographs.
Discussion
The Philippines is one of the countries with many volcanoes. In fact, it has 50 volcanoes which
makes it the 9th country in the world with the most number of volcanoes. The top five countries
with the most number of volcanoes are: United States-173; Russia – 166; Indonesia – 139; Iceland
– 130; and, Japan -112. Instead of simply enumerating or listing these data, we may also present
them in a pictograph.
A pictograph is a kind of graph used to present data or information using pictures that
represent numbers. The pictograph has four parts-title, legend, pictures, and labels. The title tells
what the graph is all about. It is written at the center above the graph. The legend shows how
much each picture represents and found below the graph. The pictures correspond to the actual
value being represented while the labels tell the objects being presented or compared.
Below is an example of a pictograph.
Fruits Collected
The pictograph shows the kind and number of fruits collected. We may make a legend and
assign the actual number of fruits in the graph. For instance, if a represents 10 bananas,
then the total number of bananas collected is 4 x 10 or 40.
To construct pictographs, we use the following steps.
Steps in Constructing Pictographs
1. Write the title at the top center.
2. Draw a table with two columns. The number of columns may vary depending on the data
to be included.
61
3. Write the labels at the first column.
4. Write the legend below the table.
5. Draw the pictures that correspond to the value of the objects or labels, as shown in the
legend.
Let us follow the steps in constructing a pictograph using the following data. The Grade2
class has the following number of boys and girls in each of the three sections:
Grade 2 A: Boys-20; Girls-10
Grade 2 B: Boys-20; Girls-20
Grade 2 C: Boys-10; Girls-30
In this example, the graph will look like this:
Numbers of Boys and Girls in Grade 2
The pictograph shows the number of boys and girls in the grade 2 Classes. The labels at the
left are the grade and section of each class while that on top is the number of boys and numbers of
girls.

LESSON 3: Bar graphs
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Interpret bar graphs; and
➢ Construct bar graphs.
Discussion
A bar graph uses bars to compare two or more numbers. Bar graphs can either be vertical or
horizontal. The graphs below are examples of vertical and horizontal bar graphs.
A bar graph has a title, horizontal or vertical bars, and labels. In the vertical graph, the labels
at the left side of the graph are the numerical values or descriptions of the things being compared.
The labels below the graph are the things being compared or presented and are being represented
by the bars. On the other hand, in a horizontal bar graph, the labels at the left side of the graph are
the things being compared or presented while the labels below the graph are the numerical values or
descriptions of the things being compared.
To construct a bar graph:
1. Write the title at the top center.
2. Make the graph
3. Write the labels
4. Draw the bars, the number of which corresponds to the number if things being compared.
The height of length of the bar must also correspond to the value of the things they
represent.

LESSON 4: Simple Probability
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:
➢ Tell whether an event is “sure to happen”, “likely to happen”, “equally likely to happen”;
“unlikely to happen”; and “impossible to happen”; and
➢ Describe events in real-life situations using the phrases “sure to happen”, “likely to happen”,
“equally likely to happen”; “unlikely to happen”; and “impossible to happen”;
Discussion
Probability is the mathematical term for the likelihood that something will occur, such as
winning the jackpot prize in Lotto, drawing an ace from a deck of cards or picking a green piece of
candy from a bag of assorted colors. In our daily life, there are a number of different types of activities
you engage in that involve probability and chance whether you realize it or not. For example, you
might wonder about the probability you will get a high enough grade on a test you have taken or if you
will be accepted for a job they applied for. You also use probability to make decisions when you don’t
know for sure what the outcome will be. Most of the time, you won’t perform actual probability
problems, but you’ll use subjective probability to make judgement calls and determine the best course
of action. Some of these things, however can be modeled and estimated effectively with probability
and statistical methods.
Probability is measured on a scale of 0 to 1, as shown in the probability scale below.

When can we say that a certain event can unlikely or can certainly happen? When can we say
that there is an even chance for an event to happen? Let us have some examples for us to get to
understand about probability better.
Example 1: On a very sunny morning in April, what is the chance that it will rain in the next
hour?
Answer: Impossible. Three factors support out answer. 1. It is a very sunny morning; 2. It is
the dry month of April; and, 3. The time being asked that it will rain is within an hour from the time the
observation is done.
Example 2: When a die marked 1 to 6 is rolled, what is the chance that it will land with a
counting number on top?
Answer: The numbers on the die, which are 1 to 6, are all counting numbers. Therefore,
there’s a 100% chance that it will land with a counting number on top.
Example 3: There are 12 marbles in a bottle. Six of the marbles are red while the rest are
blue. What is the chance of picking a red marble?
Answer: There is the same number of red and blue marbles in the bottle, so there is an even
chance of picking a red marble.
Evaluation
Use the Probability Scale to determine the chance of each event occurring by placing a check
on the appropriate column.
