4. Procedures ( indicate the steps you will undertake to teach the lesson and indicate the no. of minutes each step will
consume.)
Preparation 1. Drill : Show a variety of shapes, each divided into two
5 minutes

2. Review : Name the fractional part

Show a picture of a girl part with an X in each given figures.

1. X 2. X

3. X

3. Motivation : Let pupils work in pair. Provide each pair with one square card. Ask one group of pairs to
divide their squares into three and shade a part to show one-third. Another group of
pairs will divide their squares into four and shade a part to show one-fourth. Then, another
group of pairs will divide their squares into two and shade a part to show one-half.

a. Name the fractional part of each square that is shaded.

b. What would you do if you and two friends had to share one rectangular cassava cake?
c. How will you divide the cassava cake?
d. If you divide it equally, what trait do you demonstrate?
Presentation 1. Presentation :
20 minutes a. Representing fractions using regions
Distribute a sheet of graphing paper or a grid paper and crayons to groups of 3.
Let each group draw the following regions in the graphing or grid paper and color the parts asked for.
a. Draw a 3 x 3 square region. Color 3 squares. Ask: What fractional part of the region is colored?
Call some groups to show their work. Let them write the fractional form of the shaded
portion.
b. Draw a 1 x 5 rectangular region. Color 2 squares. Ask: what part of the rectangular region is not
shaded or colored? Call some groups to show their work. Let them write the fractional
Form of the unshaded portion.
c. Draw a region with 24 squares. ( The group may draw a 4 x 6, a 3 x 8, a 2 x 12 or a 1 x 24
rectangular region) Ask: If you color one-half of the region, how many squares are colored or
shaded? Why? Let the groups explain their answer using their drawing.
 b. Representing fractions using sets
Post the following illustrations on the board.

Let the pupils study the sets of objects. Let them identify/name the objects in each set. Ask them to
count the objects in each set.
Set A Set B Set C

Ask:
In Set A, how many ampalaya are shaded? What part of the set is shaded? not shaded? Write the
fraction for the shaded part then the unshaded part. How many more ampalaya should we
shade to show ½? Explain their answer.
In set B, how many butterflies are shaded? What part of the set is shaded? not shaded? Write
the fraction for the shaded part, unshaded part. Are we going to shade more butterflies or
unshade some butterflies to show 1/3 of the set? How many do we need to add or subtract?
Why?

c. Representing fractions using number line

Show this other way of representing the fractions using the number line
Let the pupils equally divide the number line as described.

Figure A 4 equal parts

Figure B 6 equal parts

Figure C 8 equal parts

Ask: Into how many parts is each of the number lines divided?
What do call one part of figure A? B? C?

Let the pupils name and write the fractional part of each number line on the chalkboard

2.Performing the activities

Have the class work in pairs.
a. Distribute two squares of the same size to each pair.
b. Let pupils find two different ways to divide the squares into 4 equal parts and draw lines that
illustrate the ways they found
c. When all the squares have been divided by the pairs, compare all the ways found to divide the
same figure into equal parts.
d. Let pupils give the fraction for one part, two parts, etc.

e. Distribute more squares of the same size to each pair. Repeat the activity by asking for
different numbers of equal parts. E.g.3 equal parts, 5 equal parts
f. Ask pupils to give the fraction for one part, two parts, etc. of the given figure.
3. Processing the Activity
a. How are fractions represented?
b. How should you divide the region, a set and a number line?
c. Let the class generalize the lesson by asking the following questions:
How can fractions be represented? How should you divide a region, a set and a number line?

Practice Have the pupils answer Activity A on page 9 of Math Worktext.

10 minutes Write the fraction for the shaded parts.

5. Assessment (indicate whether it is thru Observation and/or Talking/conferencing to learners and or Analysis of
Learners’ Products and/or Tests) _______minutes

Written Test Have the pupils answer Activity B and C on pp. 9 and 10 in Math worktext.
