III. PROCEDURE
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
A. Preparatory Activity

Greetings
- I want you to Good morning class! - Good morning teacher Dan!
- How are you today? - We’re fine teacher.
- Good to hear that. Did you already take your - Yes teacher.
breakfast?
- That’s good. Always take your breakfast - Yes teacher.
every morning, because breakfast is an
important meal.
Prayer - Our Father… Amen.
- Let us all stand for the prayer. (Choose one
student to lead the prayer.)
Classroom Management
- Before you take your seat, kindly pick up
some pieces of paper under your chair and
arrange your chair as well.
- Look at your left and look at your right. Who - None teacher.
is absent today?
- All are present, very good!
- During my discussion, I have rules to be
followed.
My first rule is;
1. Seat properly, hands on your lap and don’t
talk with your seatmates.
2. Listen carefully while I’m discussing in
front and;
3. If you have questions or if you want to
answer, just raise your right hand and - Yes teacher.
don’t answer in chorus. Are we clear?
 Review
- Who can still remember our topic yesterday? - Answer may vary.
- Our topic yesterday is all about Fraction.
- Who can give me a fraction from this diagram
1?
- 2/7 teacher.
- That’s correct! How about this one. Who can
give me a fraction from this diagram 2? - 4/7 teacher.

- Yes, you got the right answer. How about the

last one?
- 20/30 or 1/3

- Very good! Now, let’s proceed to our topic.

B. Lesson Proper
- Our topic for today is all about “Addition of
Fractions”
- Now, how we are going to add the diagram
number 1 and the diagram number 2?
- As you can see, they have the same
denominators. So, add the numerator,
2+4 = 6 and copy the denominator 7, since
they have the same denominator.
 2/7 + 4/7 = 2+4/7 = 6/7
- Remember, if the denominator is the same,
you don’t need to add it, just copy the
denominator and add the numerator. - Yes teacher.
Understand?
- Let’s have another example. Who wants to try
to answer?
 2/10 + 5/10 = 2+5/10 = 7/10
- Yes, very good! Let’s have another one. Who
wants to answer?
 3/17 + 5/17 + 6/17 = 3+5+7/17 =
15/17
- Yes, that’s correct. Let’s have another
example.
 Find the sum of 5/9 and 7/12.
- As you notice class, the denominator is not
the same. To solve this, we need to find the
LCD of the denominator, 9 and 12. This
method is called
 1. “Adding using least common denominator.” - 36 teacher.
- 9: 9, 12, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, …
- 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, ….
- What is the LCD of 9 and 12?
- __5__+__7__ _____ + ______
 9 12 36 36
- (36÷9×5) = _20_ + (36÷12×7) = _21_
36 36
_20_ + _21_ = 41 or _5_
36 36 36 36
- Since, this is improper fraction we need to
turn it into lowest term.
- Let’s have another example using another
method.
 2. Adding using cross products
Example: find the sum of 5/8 and 3/4.
_5_ + _3_ = _5×4 + 3×8_ = _20 + 24_
8 4 8×4 32
= _44_ = _11_ = _3_
32 8 8

- There are Basic Properties of Addition of

Fraction.
1. Zero Property
- The sum of a fraction and 0 is the same
fraction.
Example: 5/6 + 0 = 5/6
- As you notice class, when we add 0 to the
fraction the sum is still the same fraction.
That’s what we called Zero Property of
Addition of Addition of fractions.
- Who wants to give me an example using Zero
Property? Anyone? I will give points to those
students who can give me the right answer.
2. Commutative Property
- Changing the order of the addends does not
change the sum.
Example: 11/15 + 3/4 = 3/4 + 11/15 = 1 29/60
- As what you notice class, we change the
addends but their answer is still the same.
That’s what we called Commutative Property
of Addition of Fractions. Who can give me
another example using Commutative
Property?
3. Associative Property
- Changing the grouping of the addends does
not change the sum.
Example:
5/6 + 1/10 + 1/3 = 5/6 + 1/10 + 3/5 =
1 8/30
- This shows that the order of grouping
fractions together in addition does not affect
the sum .Even if we change the grouping of
the addends their sum is still the same.
- Who can give me an example using
Associative Property?
C. Generalization
- In adding fraction, if they have the same
denominator, all you have to do is to add the
numerator and copy the denominator.
- If they don’t have the same denominator, you
 can use the method adding using the least
common denominator or adding using cross
products.
D. Application

Directions: Match column A to the correct

answer of column B. Write your solution in
another sheet of paper.

Column A Column B

1. 15/29 + 7/29 a. 1 11/24

2. 5/6 + 2/9 b. 4/5
3. 5/8 + 5/6 c. 22/29
4. 2/15 + 6/15 + 5/15 d. 1 1/18
5. 1/2 + 1/5 + 1/10 e. 13/15

E. Evaluation

Directions: Identify the Basic Properties of

Addition of Fractions from each number. Write
your answer on the blank before the number,
write the letter only.

A. Zero Property B. Commutative Property

C. Associative Property

_____ 1. 5/20 + 2/10 = 2/10 + 5/20 = 9/20

_____ 2. 8/9 + 0 = 8/9
_____ 3. 1/8 (1/4 + 1/2) = (1/8 + 1/4) + 1/2 = 7/8
_____ 4. 1/5 + 1/10 = 1/10 + 1/5 = 3/10
_____ 5. 0 + 3/4 = 3/4
F. Assignment Type equation here .

A. Directions: Follow the pattern. Find the sum

of the first six fractions.

1. 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/12 + …

2. 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + …

B. Direction: Find the missing fraction that

makes the sentence true.

 / + (1/2 + 1/6) = 1
