MATHEMATICS V
I. Objectives
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Mental Computation
Strategy: Show-Me-Board
Materials: flashcards, show-me-board
Mechanics:
a. Divide the class into 4 Learning Barkadas.
b. The teacher flashes an improper fraction and let them change it to mixed number.
c. The group who shows the correct answer first gets the point.
d. Continue the game. The team with the most number of correct answers wins.
2. Review
Put a before the number if the fraction is in the lowest terms. Simplify, if it is NOT.
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Trina used 3 metre of plastic to cover her art portfolio and 2 metre for her
notebooks.
8 8
How many metres of plastic cover did she use?
a. Help the pupils understand the problem by asking some comprehension questions. What
is asked? What are given?
Valuing:
Ask further: What kind of pupil do you think is Trina?
Why is it important to take care of your things?
b. What operation should you use to solve the problem? What is the number sentence?
(Pupils will write it on the board.)
c. Direct the pupils’ attention to the unit region posted on the board.
d. Ask the pupils how many pieces they have. (8 pieces)
Continue asking, “What fraction can you give each piece?” 1
8
e. Ask one pupil to write 3 on the unit region and another one to put 2 .
8 8
(Elicit from them that these fractions represent the plastic cover Trina used for her
art portfolio and notebook, respectively.) How many pieces were there in all? Let the
pupils count the actual number of pieces. ?” 5
8
Expected Output:
Show on the board that 3 + 2 = 5 .
8 8 8
f. Lead the pupils to discover the rule in adding similar fractions by asking “What did we do
with the numerators?” Denominators?
Strategy 2: Modeling
Using a problem opener
Aida bought 3 metre of blue ribbon, 4 metre of green ribbon and 2 metre of orange
ribbon. 5 5 5
How long are the ribbons when put together end to end?
a. Ask leading questions similar to Strategy 1 a – b.
b. Direct the pupils to the model shown below.
3 2 4
5 5 5
9 or 1 4
5 5
2. Fixing Skills
Flash addition cards of dissimilar fractions. Let them answer it on their show me board. Call on
pupil to explain their answer.
3. Generalization
C. Application
Divide the students into 4 Learning Barkadas. Assign a group leader. Distribute the materials and the
word problem each group. Ask them to answer it cooperatively. Let the group leader discuss their
answer in front of the class.
IV. Evaluation
Find the sum. Reduce each sum to simplest form if possible.
