Yesterday, these children had these snacks:

Angela= 1/8 of pie
Angelu= 1/4 of pie
Renz= 1/5 of pie
Guess. Who do you think ate the biggest piece?

in comparison to one whole?
(They are fractions with more or less than 1.)
How do you compare these sets of fractions?
What do you notice with the fractions as their
denominator gets bigger?

Short way of comparing fractions.

Example: Compare 3/4 and 2/5

Cross Product Method
Step 1: Multiply the numerator of the first fraction
with denominator of the second fraction. Place the
product on top of the first fraction.
3 x 5 = 15
Step 2: Multiply the denominator of the first
fraction with numerator of the second fraction.
Place the product on the top of the second fraction.
2x4=8
Step 3: The fraction with the greater/bigger
product on top has the
greater/bigger value.

15 8
3 2
4 X 5
So, 3/4 is greater than 2/5.
Processing the Activities

How do we compare:
a.) dissimilar fractions which are less than one
having the same
numerators?

b.) dissimilar fractions which are more than

one having also the same
numerators?
c.) dissimilar fractions which have different
numerator and
denominator with illustrations? without
illustrations?
Which do you think is the most convenient way
to compare fractions?
Why?
If you compare pair of fractions using the
illustration and cross product
method, did you find
the same answers?
Reinforcing the Concept
Paghambingin ang pares ng fraction sa
bawat bilang. Isulat sa sagutang papel
ang mga simbolo >, <, at =.
Summarizing the Lesson

What symbols of relation do we use in

comparing fractions?
To compare fractions, we use the
symbols of relation such as:

> read as “is greater than”

< read as “is less than”
= read as “is equal to” or
“equals”
. Applying to New and Other Situations
Sipiin sa inyong kuwaderno
ang mga figure sa ibaba.
Kulayan ang lahat ng fraction
na higit sa 2/3 ng asul at pula
naman kung mas maliit sa 2/3.
Evaluation
A. Gamitin ang cross product method sa
paghahambing ng sumusunod na fraction. Isulat
ang >, <, at = sa inyong sagot sa sagutang papel.
B. Isulat ang salitang Tama sa patlang kung ang
paghahambing ng dalawang fraction sa ibaba ay
tama at Mali kung hindi. Ipakita ang inyong
solusyon at isulat ang sagot sa inyong kuwaderno.
HOMEWORK
Pagkumparahin ang dalawang fraction sa bawat
bilang gamit ang >, <, at =. Isulat sa kuwaderno ang
inyong sagot.
