TEACHERS ACTIVITY STUDENTS ACTIVITY

A. Preliminary Activity Good Afternoon Teacher!

Good afternoon class!

Our topic is about “Subtract Fraction

from a Whole Number”

Our lesson objectives are: 1. Subtract fraction from whole

number
2. Visualize subtraction of a fraction
from a whole number
3. Solve word problems about
subtracting fraction from whole
numbers

Do you still remember how to subtract Yes teacher!

similar fractions? In subtracting similar fractions we only
subtract the numerator and copy the
denominator.

Very good!
For today, we will know how to
subtract fraction with whole number.

B. Lesson Proper
Do you love chocolates? Yes, Teacher!
I have here a picture of 2 chocolate
3
bar. After that I get the part of the
8
chocolate. What do you think will be
left?
But before that, let’s see first the 2
 chocolate bars. Each chocolate is
divided in to 8 pieces.

And let’s use this chocolate

representation to understand and
solve the problem

8 5
1 whole or left chocolate
8 8

The chocolate bar with X mark

represent the chocolate that was
eaten.
What part were left?
5
1+ teacher!
5 8
Yes, 1 + chocolate were left
8
Or we can write an equation to solve
this problem.
3
2 chocolate bar - eaten part = N
8
We will rename the whole number as a
fraction.
2 bars of chocolate will be written as 1
8
+

Thus 2- =1

1+ or N = 1
8 8

In subtracting fractions, we subtract

numerators and retained the
denominator.

Examples:
Please read
1. First, rename the whole number as
7
a fraction (1 ). Second, write the
7
1
equation . Next, copy the whole
7
number. Then, subtract the 1

numerator. And lastly retain/copy the 7
denominator.

Very Good! How much farther does he
have to walk?
First, we will write the equation for the
4
problem. So 4 kms. - 2 . Next, we

fraction, 4 meters can be written as 2 finish the test 1 of the
