• Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.

Concept: We can model or represent these fractions using fraction strips or
bars to easily compare and understand their values.

Example 1:
Model ½ and 1/3 using fraction bars.

Example:

Exercises:
Use paper strips or fraction bars
Activity: 1.​ Model each pair of fractions below using fraction bars:
a.​ ¼ and 1/2
b.​ 2/3 and ¾
c.​ 1/5 and 1/10

• Dissimilar fractions are fractions with different denominators.

Concept: We can model these fractions using fraction disks or cicles by

dividing a circle into equal parts to represent the denominator. The
colored parts show the numerator.

Let’s model circle divided into 2 equal parts, shade 1 part-

Draw one circle divided into 2 equal parts, shade 1 part -represents ½
Example:
Draw another circle dividend into 3 equal parts, shade 1 part- represent
1/3

Exercises:
1.​ Draw two circles for each pair of fractions below.
2.​ Divide and shade according to the given fractions.
3.​ Compare the fractions using <,>, or =.

Lesson: Modelling equivalent fractions

Objective: Generate equivalent fractions using models.

Reference(s): ●​ DepEd MATATAG Curriculum Guide in Mathematics 4
●​ Mathematics Learner’s Module Grade 4, Quarter 3
●​ Teacher’s Guide in Mathematics 4
Equivalent fractions are fractions that name the same part of a
whole, even if they have different numerators and denominators.
1 2 3
Concept: Example: 2
= 4
= 6

These fractions are equal in value because they represent the same
shaded part of a whole.
Using Fraction Strips or Bars:
1
●​ Shade 1 out of 2 equal parts → 2
2
●​ Shade 2 out of 4 equal parts → 4
1 2
●​ Both shaded portions are equal, so = .
Example: 2 4
Using Circles:
●​ Draw two circles of the same size.
●​ Divide one into 2 equal parts and shade 1.
●​ Divide the other into 4 equal parts and shade 2.
●​ The shaded areas are the same, showing that the fractions are
equivalent.
Let’s Model It!​
Use fraction strips, bars, or circles to show that the following pairs are
equivalent.
1 2 3 6
1.​ 2

Literacy Mani ate 2
of her bar, while Riza ate 4
of hers.​
Integration: Who ate more chocolate? Explain your answer in 2–3 complete
sentences using what you know about equivalent fractions.

Lesson: Modelling Dissimilar Fractions with Denominators up to 10 Modelling
equivalent fractions
Objective: a. represent dissimilar fractions, with denominators up to 10, using
models; and
b. generate equivalent fractions using models.
Reference(s): ●​ DepEd MATATAG Curriculum Guide in Mathematics 4
●​ Mathematics Learner’s Module Grade 4, Quarter 3
●​ Teacher’s Guide in Mathematics 4
●​ Dissimilar fractions have different denominators (example:
1/2 and 1/3).
●​ We can use fraction disks, bars, or circles to model and
compare dissimilar fractions.
Concept:
●​ Equivalent fractions name the same part of a whole, even if
1 2
they look different (example: 2
= 4
).
●​ Using models helps us see that equivalent fractions cover the
same area or portion of the whole.
A.Modelling Dissimilar Fractions
1 1
1.​ Model 2
and 3
using fraction circles:

o​ Draw two same-sized circles.

o​ Divide one into 2 equal parts and shade 1.
o​ Divide the other into 3 equal parts and shade 1.
1 1
o​ Notice that 2
is greater than 3
because the shaded
Example: part is larger.
B. Modelling Equivalent Fractions
1.​ Use fraction bars to show:
1
o​ Shade 1 out of 2 parts → 2

2
o​ Shade 2 out of 4 parts → 4
​
1 2
→ Both show the same amount, so 2
= 4
