Time Frame: 1080 minutes (3 weeks)

After discussing whole numbers, it is important to know that

there are other numbers that cannot be expressed as a whole,
like half of a cake, one – fourth of a box of candies, or one and
two – thirds kilograms of rice. In these cases, it is necessary to
express numbers that are parts of a whole. These numbers are
known as fractions.
In this module, you will read about the kinds of fractions,
fractions in simplest form, equivalent fractions, writing fractions
in different forms and solve real – life problems.
At the end of the lesson, you will be
able to:
1. Visualize and name fractions
2. Identify the different kinds of fractions
3. Find equivalent fractions and write a fraction in
simplest form
4. Demonstrate the role of a chef and realize that a
fraction is important in cooking or in any chosen field.
This will lead you to become a wise and good chef in
the future.

 Prepare your child’s materials like book,

pencil, and the downloaded worksheet
 Designate an area to do all the tasks
 Provide access to online learning resources
 Check if all the activities/exercises are
completed
 Submit/send online the required activities
and output on time.

Fraction – part of a whole

Numerator – refers to the part considered in a whole
Denominator – the total number of parts a whole is
equally divided
Proper Fraction – less than a whole
Improper Fraction – a fraction whose value is equal
to or greater than a whole
Mixed Number – a combination of a whole number
and a proper fraction

Allotted Time: 15 minutes (synchronous time)

Students in grade 3 are busy preparing

for the Valentine’s Day celebration.
Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated every
14th of February, is named after Saint
Valentine. A lot of folks consider the month of
February as a season of love.
Some students prepared chocolate
candies. Kevin made a different kind of
chocolate bar. ¾ of the chocolate bar was
made from a dark chocolate. The remaining
part of the chocolate bar was white
chocolate. Are you familiar with the number
that describes the part of the chocolate bar
made from dark chocolate? What do the
numbers 3 and 4 represent in ¾?

Allotted Time: 15 minutes (synchronous time)

The number ¾ is a fraction that is read as “three – fourths”. Remember that

a fraction is less than 1, equal to 1, or greater than 1. Look at the parts of the
fraction below.

numerator

denominator

 How do you know if a fraction is less than 1, equal to 1, or greater than 1?
When the numerator is less than the denominator, the fraction is less than
one. Look at the fraction below and the figure beside it.

The whole region above is divided into 4 equal parts. The fraction ¾
represents the 3 shaded parts out of the 4 equal parts. This fraction is less than
1 whole. This fraction is called proper fraction.

When the numerator is equal to the denominator, the fraction is equal to

1. Look at the fraction and the figure below.

Note that 4 out of 4 equal parts are shaded. 4/4 is equal to one whole.

When the numerator is greater than the denominator, the fraction is

greater than 1. The figure below shows two the same wholes, each divided into
4 equal parts, with 5 parts shaded. The shaded region is represented by the
fraction 5/4, which is greater than 1. This fraction is called improper fractions.

WEEK 2
Allotted Time: 15 minutes

Now that you know already the parts

and names of fractions, let us explore
further by finding fractions equivalent to a
given fraction and writing the fractions in
simplest form.
Earth Day is celebrated yearly on the
22nd day of April to remind us of the
importance of taking care of our home
planet. Many organizations sponsor
contests in art, slogan making, and story
and poem writing to increase awareness
of the environment and raise funds to help protect earth.
In a poster making contest, each participant was provided with
4/5 can of blue paint and 8/10 can of red paint. What can you say
about the fractions 4/5 and 8/10?

7
The figures below show the given fractions.

Notice that the two figures show two different fractions but the
sizes of their shaded parts are equal. This is because the two fractions
are equivalent fractions. In symbols, 4/5 = 8/10. This means that the
amounts of blue paint and red paint are equal.

Allotted Time: 15 minutes (synchronous time)

Without drawing figures to show fractions, you can check if two

fractions are equivalent. Consider the fractions 4/5 and 8/10.
Follow the steps to check whether the fractions are equivalent or
not.

Step 1 : Multiply the numerator of the first fraction with the

denominator of the second fraction.

4 x 10 = 40

Step 2: Multiply the denominator of the first fraction with the

numerator of the second fraction

5 x 8 = 40
8
Step 3 : Compare the two products. If the products are equal, then
the two fractions are equivalent. If the products are not equal, then
the fractions are not equivalent.

Since the two products are equal, you can say that 4/5 and 8/10 are
equivalent fractions. This method is called cross multiplication.

Another example is writing fractions in simplest form. Consider the

example below:

What is the simplest form of 15/20?

Study the steps in getting the simplest form of a fraction.

Step 1: Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator.

Factors of 15 : 1,3,5,15
Factors of 20 : 1,2,4,5,10,20
GCF of 15 and 20 is 5
Step 2 : Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF.
The resulting fractions the simplest form of the given fraction.

15 ÷ 5 = 3
20 ÷ 5 4

Therefore, the simplest form of 15/ 20 is 3/4

Note: Detailed discussion and more exercises will be discussed through

Use the alphabetical guide below to help us have
effective virtual classes.

A is for Avoid Acronyms

 Use your full name when you sign in to the virtual
classroom and when you submit/upload your works
online.
 Be clear with your words and spell things out correctly in
order to avoid confusion and misunderstandings with the
teacher and classmates. Avoid using acronyms such as
LOL (laugh out loud) and TTYL (talk to you later), not all
users are as familiar with these abbreviations

B is for Brevity
 While participating in virtual classroom discussions, keep
your answers short and on topic. You may also use the
chat box for your message or questions.

C is for Courtesy
 Be respectful. Even on online classes, use polite
expressions like “please” and “thank you.”
 Raise your “virtual hands” and wait to be recognized
when responding to a question or comment. You can
also use the keyboard shortcut Option+Y on a Mac or
Alt+Y on a PC to raise your hand.
 Mute your microphone during the lesson to avoid
disturbing the class with any background noise.
 Avoid using all uppercase letters; this is often considered
the equivalent of shouting.
 When you enter the classroom, make sure to enable both 15
audio and video.
D is for Ditching Distractions
 Before an online school session begins, eliminate
environmental distractions that may divert your
attention away from learning.
 Clear the room of playful pets or noisy siblings.
 Minimize background noise by turning off the TV and
radio.
 Turn off cell phones. (No multitasking during class!)
 Do not to let the microphone broadcast unless you are
asked to speak.

E is for Early
 Be prepared before the online class. Download any
necessary software and connect and test devices like
microphones or video cameras before the lesson
begins. Exit other applications on their computers prior
to launching the classroom software. Come to class
early.
 When your class is over, leave the classroom by closing
the window.

F is for Focus and Friendships

 Focus on the classroom conversation and activities.
 Take notes on the information presented.
 Ask relevant questions to clarify the material covered or
assignments given.
 Do not join sideline chats with classmates when the
teacher is speaking.
G is for Good Intentions
 Read and interpret virtual classroom messages with the
assumption that teachers and classmates have good
intentions. What seems like a short or abrupt answer from 16
 a classmate (or teacher) probably doesn’t mean
anger—the other person might just be busy.
 Reread your own messages for friendliness and respect
before sending.

In Submission of School Tasks

 All students are required to complete the school

tasks uploaded in the PSD LMS: e-desk. All works in
the asynchronous class/activities in the modules will
be monitored.

 All students are expected to submit their work,

upload or attach their work in the PSD LMS: e-desk.
Select carefully in the Assessment Evaluation
Section where to attach a particular work. If your
file is too big, it needs to be converted into the
minimum size or you can provide a link for your work.

 In case the server is down or too busy or

overloaded, the teacher will indicate another
platform where you can submit your work.
Google classroom is the alternative learning
platform for PSD e-desk.
