LESSON NO. 1: ADDING AND SUBRACTING FRACTIONS
CONTENT STANDARD:
 demonstrates understanding of the four fundamental
operations involving fractions and decimals
LEARNING COMPETENCIES
 adding and subtract simple fractions and mixed numbers without or with
regrouping
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of the lesson the students will be able to:
1. add and subtract fractions without regrouping
2. add and subtract fractions with regrouping
3. solve routine and non-routine problems involving addition and/or
subtraction of fractions and
Addition- is bringing two or more numbers (or things) together to make a new total.
Fraction- simply tells us how many parts of a whole we have.
Grouping- the act or process of combining in groups.
Numerator- number above the line in a common fraction showing how many of the
parts indicated by the denominator are taken, for example, 2 in 2/3.
Denominator- the number below the line in a common fraction; a divisor.

Enumerate the following:

1. What is numerator?
2. What is denominator?

Let us show addition of fractions on the number line.
You can also draw a mathematical

To add similar fractions, just add the numerators and put the
sum over the common denominator:
Simplify the sum when it is necessary. That is why:

To subtract similar or like fractions, just subtract the numerators like whole
numbers and then write the difference over the common denominator of the fractions.
Simplify the difference when needed.

For dissimilar or unlike fractions, change them first to similar fractions by

looking for equivalent fractions. To get the equivalent fractions, find the least common
denominator (LCD) of the fractions. After the fractions have become similar, add or
subtract as usual.
Example: 1. Find the LCM of 2 and 3. LCM is 2 x 3 = 6

LEARNING OUTCOME
1. Add and subtract mixed numbers without regrouping
2. Add and subtract mixed numbers with regrouping
3. Solve routine and non-routine problems involving addition and/or
subtraction of mixed numbers
4. Create problems (with reasonable answers) involving addition and/or

To make it easy to add and subtract them, just convert to Improper Fractions
first:

ADDING MIXED FRACTION
I find this is the best way to add mixed fractions:
 convert them to Improper Fractions
 then add them (using Addition of Fractions)
 then convert back to Mixed Fractions
