MATH
IDENTIFYING FRACTIONS EQUAL TO ONE

A DepEd-BEAM Distance Learning Program supported by the Australian Agency for International Development
 To the Learner

In this module you are going to identify fractions equal to one.

Several excellent illustrations relating the topic are clearly
explained for understanding on the concept you will learn. For
background information, take first the Pretest.

Pretest

A. Circle the letter of the fraction equal to one.

1. 2.

a b a b

3.

a b

B. Give the fraction name of 1 by writing the missing number.

4. 1 = 11 5. 1 =

Let’s Study

Ina cooked a breadfruit ( kuló ). She cut it equally into 4

parts. How many fourths are there?

We See

Each part is ¼.
There are 4
equal parts. So,
the whole
breasdfruit is
4/4? Am I right?

1 breadfruit.
4 parts in all.

We Think

Yes, and 4/4 is

equal to 1.

Butyok is thinking it the number parts.

131
 Oh! I discovered
something.

Isa is thinking of the fraction.

Really? What’s it?

If the numerator
and the
denominator are
the same, then, it
is equal to 1.

We Say

Four Fourths is equal to one.

We Write

4 =1
4
