TEACHER’S ACTIVITY PUPILS’ ACTIVITY

A. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES

1. Prayer
Class, please stand up and let us pray. (One pupil will lead the prayer.)

2. Greetings
Good morning class! Good morning ma’am!
Good morning classmates!

Now class, let’s check your attendance first. (The leader in each row will report
the attendance.)
4. Checking of Assignment
Class do you have an assignment? Yes sir!

5. Energizer
Before we start let us all sing “Math dali
song” (The pupils will sing)

6. Drill
Class, using the three basic operations kindly
pick the correct answer using interactive
games “Go Fishing” Yes ma’am!

1. 5 x 5 1. 25
2. 8 + 6 2. 14
3. 12 ÷ 4 3. 3
4. 6 x 5 4. 30
5. 8 x 2 5. 16
Very good!

7. Review
Before we proceed to our next lesson, let’s
have a short review on our past lesson.

What was our lesson last time?

Our lesson last time is all about
Difference of Similar, dissimilar
and mixed numbers.

That’s right! Again,

These are fractions that have the same

denominators.
Example: 1/5, 2/5, 3/5
Similar Fractions
These are fractions that have different
denominators.
Example: 1/2, 2/3, 3/4
Dissimilar Fractions
It is formed by combining three parts: a whole
number, a numerator, and a denominator. The
numerator and denominator are part of the
proper fraction that makes the mixed number.
Example: 5 3/4 or 2 1/3
Mixed Fractions
B. LESSON PROPER

1. Motivation
Before we start our new lesson, please
help me to answer these “Halo – halo words”
jumbled words.

1. AFRCOINT - a numerical quantity

that is not a whole number.
2. ONITDADI - the process of
calculating the total of two or more FRACTION
numbers or amounts.
3. MUNAREROT - the numbers above
the line in a common fraction showing ADDITION
how many of the parts indicated by
the denominator are taken.
4. REMBNUS - an arithmetical value,
expressed by a word, symbol, or NUMERATOR
figure, representing a particular
quantity.
5. ONEMDANIOTR - the number NUMBERS
below the line in a common fraction; a
divisor.
DENOMINATOR
2. Presentation
Class, I have here a one whole pizza was
divided into 8 slices. You ate one slice
another two slices, what part of the pizza did
you eat at all?
 (The selected pupils will answer)

By putting together 1/8 + 2/8 = 3/8

Very good

1/8 + 2/8 = 3/8

It means that in adding similar fractions we

just add the numerators and copy the common
denominators

Now class, there are also some steps to

consider in adding simple fractions and mixed (The students will listen)
numbers with or without regrouping.

Step 1: Change fractions to similar fractions

through getting the Least Common
Denominator or LCD

Step 2: Divide the LCD by the given

denominators and multiply by the given
numerators.

Step 3: If adding mixed numbers, add first the

whole numbers before adding the numerators.
Copy the common denominator. Then, reduce
to lowest term or if the answer is improper
fraction, change it to mixed numbers.
Regroup the sum if necessary.

Now, let us have an example of;

Adding simple fractions without regrouping:

What is the sum of?

2/3 and 1/4?
Step 1: Find the least common
Again what is the step 1? denominator

__/12 + __/12 = Step 2: Divide the LCD by the

given denominators and multiply by
the given numerators.

12 ÷ 3 x 2 = 8
12 ÷ 4 x 1 = 3 Step 3: Add the numerators and
reduce to the lowest term if
possible.

2/3 + 1/4 = 8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12

Final answer: 11/12

Very good!
Example 2:

How about adding simple fractions with

regrouping?

Given: 3/4 + 1/3 = N?

Step 1: Change fractions to similar fractions
through getting the LCD of 4 and 3.
3/4 + 1/3 = /12 + /12
Step 2: Divide the LCD by the given
denominators and multiply by the given
numerators.
12 ÷ 4 x 3 = 9
12 ÷ 3 x 1 = 4
Step 3: Add the numerators

3/4 + 1/3 = 9/12 + 4/12 = 13/12

13/12 is improper fraction change to mixed

numbers.

1
Example; 12 13 = 1 1/12
- 12
1

Final answer: 13/12 = 1 1/12

Now we are going to add simple fractions

and mixed numbers with regrouping.

Example: 2 2/5 +3/4 = Step 1: change fractions to similar

fractions through getting the LCD
of 5 and 4

2 2/5 +3/4 = 2 __/20 + __ /20 = N

Step 2: Divide the LCD by the
given denominators and multiply by
the given numerators.
20 ÷ 5 x 2 = 8
20 ÷ 4 x 3 = 15
Step 3: Add the numerators

2 2/5 +3/4 = 2 8/20 + 15/20 = 2 23/20

Improper fractions change into mixed

numbers

Example; 1
20 23 = 1 3/20
- 20
3
By regrouping the sum:

Final answer:
Yes ma’am!
1 3/20 + 2 = 3 3/20

Did you understand class?

3. Guided Practice

Now, let us talk about the sisters selling

delicious avocados.

Marie sold 3 1/4 kilograms of avocados,

while Ann sold 2/3 kilogram. How many
kilograms of avocados did the two sells
together? The number of kilograms sold
Let’s start! by Marie and Ann together.

Questions: Together

1. What is ask in the problem? Addition

2. What is the clue word that can help to
determine the operation in the problem? 3 1/4 + 2/3
3. What is the correct operation to use to
solve the problem?
4. What is the correct number sentence?

All right. Very good!

Now, let us solve it.

Step 1: change fractions to similar fractions

through getting the LCD of 4 and 3.

3 1/4 + 2/3 = 3 __/12 + __ /12 = N

Step 2: Divide the LCD by the given

denominators and multiply by the given
numerators.

12 ÷ 4 x 1 = 3
12 ÷ 3 x 2 = 8
Step 3: Add the numerators

Therefore:

3 1/4 + 2/3 = 3 3/12 + 8/12 = 3 11/12

Yes ma’am!
Final Answer: 3 11/12 kilograms of
avocados

Did you understand class?

Yes ma’am!

Is that clear?

4. Generalization
How do we add fractions with regrouping and Step 1: Change fractions to similar
without regrouping? What are the steps to fractions through getting the Least
follow? Common Denominator or LCD

Step 2: Divide the LCD by the

given denominators and multiply by
the given numerators.

Step 3: If adding mixed numbers,

add first the whole numbers before
adding the numerators. Copy the
common denominator. Then, reduce
to lowest term or if the answer is
improper fraction, change it to
mixed numbers. Regroup the sum if
necessary.

Very good! All of you did well!

C. APPLICATION
Now class, I will group you into three
groups. Each group will have this envelope,
and inside that, you will answer the given
problem. One or two members of your group
will present your answer. But, before we
proceed let us review what are the standards
to be followed while we are conducting group
activity:

 Work neatly
 Work quietly
 Work cooperatively
 Finish your work on time

Group 1: Find the sum.

5 1/4 + 3/4
3 2/5 + 4 5/10

Group 2: Read the problem and solve what is

ask.
Jose jogs regularly. He jogged 1/5 km then he
rested for a while. He jogged another 3/5 km
then he stopped. How many kilometers had he
jogged?
 Group 3: Find the missing to complete the
solution.
5/6 + 1/7 = 35/42 + 6/42 = ___/42
1/6 + 3/4 = ___/12 + 9/12 = 11/12

V. ASSIGNMENT

Find the missing number to complete the solution

And answer of the following numbers.

1. 9/10 + 3/10 = 12/10 = 1 2/10 = 1 __/5

2. 2 1/4 + 3 1/2 = 2 1/4 + 3 2/4 = ___ 3/4
