Lesson 3: Solves routine problems involving addition and/or subtraction of fractions

using appropriate problem-solving strategies and tools.


Day 3

To the Learner

Problem solving requires an imaginative mind to be able to


arrive at an answer easily and systematically. Sometimes an
illustration is a great help to answer some problems.
A routine problem is a type of problem which there is an
immediate solution

2
3
kilometers in 5 minutes, how long will it take him to run the second half?

STEP 1 – Read to understand.


 How long does it take the athlete to finish 1 kilometer run?
 How long does it take him to finish the first half kilometer?
 What is asked for in the problem?
STEP 2 – Plan what to do.
 What operation will you use to find the length of time to finish the second
half?
STEP 3 – Do the computations.
9 2
