The lesson plan teaches students how to solve word problems involving the addition of fractions using a 4-step approach. In the lesson, students will practice changing fractions to similar and dissimilar terms, adding similar and dissimilar fractions, and solving word problems. They will work in groups on sample word problems and share their answers with the class. The 4-step approach includes understanding the problem, planning how to solve it, carrying out the solution, and checking the answer. Sample word problems are provided for students to practice applying the 4-step approach.

Materials: Chart, flashcards, activity sheets, manila paper and pens

III. Procedure:

A. Preparatory Activities

1. Drill: Conduct a drill on changing dissimilar fractions to similar fractions


using flashcards.

Examples: a. 3/5, 4/15=

b. 4/7, 3/21=

(Provide more exercises.)

2. Review: Have a review on adding similar and dissimilar fractions.


Find the magic sum by completing the magic squares. Use 1-9 as your numerator
without repeating the digits. Then, add the rows and columns to get the same sum or
the magic sum.

3. Motivation
Show a picture of a cake and say, “Suppose you have a whole cake. What would you
do with it?” Elicit from them the value of sharing.

B. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation

Present this problem. Ask the pupils to read and understand it.

Kris baked a banana cake for her family. Her brother ate 3/10 while her sister ate ¼.
She gave the rest of the cake to her neighbours. What part of the cake did Kris’
brother and sister eat in all?

Ask: Who baked a cake? What portion of the cake did Kris’ brother eat? What about
her sister? What kind of person is Kris when she gave the rest of the cake to her
neighbours?

What does the problem ask for? How will you solve the problem? (By following the
4-step plan)

2. Activity

Group the class into 5 groups.

Say: Now that you have grouped yourselves, I will give each group activity sheets,
manila paper and pens. You write your answer on the paper strips. All members
should participate, ok? And don’t make loud noises.

Distribute the materials to each group.

3. Analysis

Have the pupils share their answers with the class. Check their answers and provide
the correct answers if any. Ask them how and where they got their answer on each
step. Provide another problem if needed.

(Ask: How did you solve the problem? Where did you get your answer? How do you
know that you need to add? )
4. Abstraction

What are the steps in solving word problems involving addition of fractions?

In solving problems, we follow these steps (4-Step Plan):

1. Understand

Know what the problem asked


Determine the given facts
2. Plan

Determine the operation to use


Write the number sentence
3. Solve

Show the solution to the problem


4. Check and Look Back

Check if the answer is reasonable


State the complete answer.
5. Application

Read each problem carefully and then solve using the 4-step plan.

1. Francis rode his bicycle ½ kilometre to school, 1/5 kilometre to the store, and 2/10
