III. LEARNING EXPERIENCES

A. Preparatory Activities
1. Drill

Expressing Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers

Strategy: Show-Me-Board
Materials: flashcards, show-me-board

Mechanics:
a. Divide the class into 4 Learning Barkadas.
b. The teacher flashes an improper fraction and let them change it to mixed number.
c. The group who shows the correct answer first gets the point.
d. Continue the game. The team with the most number of correct answers wins.

3. Motivation
Talk about garbage disposal and the practice of segregating biodegradable and non-
biodegradable materials.
Ask: What do you usually do with empty plastic bottles at home? What other things can be
recycled? Emphasize the importance of recycling, reusing and reducing.

A. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation
During the International Coastal Clean Up (ICC), the grade 4 pupils of Santiago Elementary
2 1
School was able to collect kg of plastic bottles and of plastic spoons and forks for their
4 4
project Pera Mula sa Basura. How many kilograms of items did the pupils collect in all?

Ask: What was the project of the grade 4 pupils of Santiago Elementary School?
What recyclable materials did they collect?
What does the problem ask for?
How will you solve the problem?
 To answer the problem, we can use unit regions or by adding the numerators of the
fractions and writing the sum as a fraction using the common denominator.

Strategy 1: Unit Regions

Strategy 2: By adding the numerators of the fractions and writing the sum as a
fraction using the common denominator.

3. Processing the Activities

Group Activity
Group the pupils into four. Give them materials to work for. Tell them to use either of
the two strategies to add the similar fractions. Ask them to write their answer in
lowest terms if possible.

 5. Generalization
How do add similar fractions?
Answer: To add similar fractions, add the numerators, then write the sum using the
common denominator. Reduce the answer to lowest term, if possible.
B. Application
Find the sum. Write your answer in lowest terms if possible.
