A. Drill
Class, I have here some examples of
mixed fractions written on the flash cards.
All you have to do is to change these mixed
fractions into improper fraction, and reduce
it to its simplest form.

A. Motivation
Class, I have here a picture on the chart.
I see a girl cutting a cloth.

What do you see in this picture? She is dividing the cloth into equal parts.

Yes! Another?

A. Presentation

This morning we will discuss about

dividing a mixed number by another mixed
number.
All right! I have here a story problem
which is related to the picture that you have
seen a while ago.
“Dina has 2 2/3 meters of cloth to make blouses.
May I call on Jennifer to read the Each blouse needs 1 1/3 meters. How many
problem. Please listen carefully blouses can she make?”

Now, who wants to read again the “Dina has 2 2/3 meters of cloth to make
problem? blouses. Each blouse needs 1 1/3 meters. How
many blouses can she make?”

C. Comprehension Check-Up It is Dina.

Who has a cloth in the story problem?
It needs 1 1/3 meters.
How many meters does each blouse
need?

D. Analysis
Class, going back to the story problem
that we have read a while ago.

What is asked in the problem? It asked how many blouses can she
make?

What is the given facts? The given facts are 2 2/3 meters of cloth
and 1 1/3 meters needs for each blouse.

What is the mathematical sentence? The mathematical sentence is 2 2/3 

1 1/3 = ?

What is the first step be done improper Rename the mixed no.

Now, what is the improper fraction of 2 The improper fraction of 2 2/3 is 8/3

How about 1 1/3 ? 4

improper fractions, we will multiply the numerators, then the denominators. Express the
dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. Then answer in lowest possible terms.

use cancellation. 8 x 3 1 = 2 or 2
1 3 4 1 1
Okay, who wants to try?

What will you do next? There are 2 blouses can Dina make.

Now, who wants to do this step 3?

Write it on the board.

Yes, it is

you 2 minutes to answer.

All right! Let’s have group 1

Good! Let’s have group 2 Rename both mixed numbers as improper

fraction.

Now, let’s have group 3 Multiply the dividend by the reciprocal

of the divisor. Then used cancellation.

And lastly, let’s have group 4

Multiply the resulting numerators, then
the denominators. Express the answer in lowest
possible terms.
F. Generalization
How do we divide a mixed number by
another mixed number?

What is the second step in dividing a

mixed number by another mixed number?

What is the Third step?

Yes, it is.

G. Application
Class, this time, we will have a contest.
Each group will have a representative to Group 1
answer the problem. I will give you first a time
to solve the problem with your members. After 12 1  11 = 25  3 = 25 X 2 = 25
1minute, the representative from each group 2 2 2 2 2 3
will write this answer on the board.
Is that clear? Group 2

Now, I will read you a story problem. 12 1  11 = 25 3 = 25 X 2 = 25

After I read this problem, I will your group. 2 2 2 2 2 3 3
