Note to the Reviewer:

This assignment includes:

 Section A: Recapitulation
 Section B: Introduction of Like Fractions
 Section C: Practice

Please note that this assignment has been designed keeping in mind that the students are learning
digitally and not in a classroom setting. Also note that all the blue text are the instructions to the
graphic designer.

Students will be given small tasks in the form of questions or instructions that will lead them to a
concept and its understanding. If students successfully complete a task, only then the next task will
appear on the screen.

Please read the entire document including the comments and instructions to the designer so that
you get a clear picture of what I want to present to the students and how questions will pop up on
the screen.

Note to the Graphic Designer:

Show a comic strip having two siblings (brother & sister) talking to each other on a breakfast table.
Show that both of them have a sandwich cut into 4 pieces. Brother ate 1 part and sister ate 3 parts
out of the 4 parts they have.

Boy (looking at his sister’s plate): You eat so fast. I just ate 1/4 th of my sandwich and you are already
down with 3/4th of it.

Sister (smiling with ketchup on face): Why are you bringing like fractions to the table?

5 8
Place the flash cards in the fraction below in such a manner that 5 comes in the numerator and 8
comes in the denominator.

Mrs. Sharma baked two different types of cakes of equal size for a party. She wants to cut each cake
into eight equal pieces. Cut the following cakes for her so that she could display the cakes in the
party.

Mrs. Sharma served some pieces from both the cakes. What fraction of the cake did she serve?

Can you spot any similarity in these fractions? Yes No

Very Nice! The similarity is that both the fractions have ________________________________.
Look at the
ok
denominators!
Bingo!

Such type of fractions is known as like fractions.

Did you cut both the cakes into same number of parts? Yes No

When whole objects (same or different) are divided into same number of equal parts, then they
form like fractions.

Therefore, like fractions are those fractions that have same denominators.

Let us now check your understanding.

Question 1:

Look at the fractions shown below:

2 6 3 1 4 2 7
9 8 11 4 9 5 9

Click on the like fractions.

Question 2:

Represent any two like fractions with the help of shapes given below:

Hint: You can divide the shapes into parts and colour the parts to show the fractions.
