2. Generalization
In estimating fractions, we have to consider both numerators and denominators.
a. If the numerator is
4
1
or more but less than
4
3
of the denominator, we estimate it as close
to
2
1

1. Mental Computation
Drill on changing improper fractions to mixed number or vice versa.
Strategy 1: Concentrate Game or Memory Game
This is a game for you and a friend.
Make 10 improper fraction cards and 10 mixed number cards
Mechanics:
a. Form 2 groups with 5 members.
b. Mix-up the 20 cards and lay them face down in four rows with five cards in each row.
c. Pupils take turns in turning over the cards.
d. Turn over two cards.
If an improper fraction matches the mixed number, keep the cards. If the cards do not
match, turn them over.
e. After each player has done four turns, the player with the greater number of matched
cards is the winner.
Strategy 2: Agawan ng Panyo
Materials: flashcards, handkerchief
Mechanics:
a. Ask for a tall pupil to stand in front of the class. He/She will be the arbiter. He/She holds
the handkerchief and let it dangle in his/her hand.
b. Divide the class into 2 groups. Ask the first two pupils of each team to stand in front of
the class. They are the first pair of contestants.
c. The teacher flashes an improper fraction, for example . .
d. The pupil who gets the handkerchief first gets the chance to give the answer. The team
gets the point if the answer is correct. If the answer previously given is incorrect, the pupil
from the other team will have the chance to get the point if his response is right.
e. Continue the game until most of the pupils have participated. The team with the most
number of correct answer wins.

c. Have a pupil show the number of bottles Joel and Josie each got. Lead pupils to give the
ratio.
Ask: How else can we represent the ratio of the number of bottles of Joel to the number
of bottles of Josie?
d. Lead pupils to seeing that 4:2 is the same as 2:1 or for every bottle Josie gets, Joel gets
2.
e. Tell pupils that like fractions, ratios may be reduced to lowest terms by dividing the
numerator and denominator by a common factor. Take note, though, that 2:1 or
1
2
cannot be written as simply 2 because ratio is a comparison of a two quantities. Mention
also that we do not write ratios as mixed numbers (e.g.

How do we multiply mixed decimals by mixed decimals?
When multiplying mixed decimals by mixed decimals, multiply them as if they are whole
numbers. Then, sum up the number of decimal places in both mixed decimals. The number
of decimal places in the product should be equal to that in the sum. If one or more zeros are
needed to complete the needed number of decimal places in the product, we write the zero
before the number.

Dividing decimals by whole numbers.
Strategy: Number Scramble
Materials: 4 sets of cards with the following digits 0 to 9, a decimal point and a division sign
Mechanics:
Divide the class into four groups. Distribute the sets of cards to the different groups. Using
the numbers on their cards, ask the groups to form a division equation that gives the smallest
possible quotient. Go around the room to check the groups answers. Repeat the activity,
this time have the groups form a division equation with the greatest possible quotient.
B. Developmental Activities

Activity 1
P represents one and represents one
tenth
259
Mechanics:
Work with a partner.
Use your blocks to find 1.2 0.4.
Place one and two tenths in front of you.
Trade your ones block for the ten tenths.
Separate the tenths into groups of four tenths.
What do you think?
a. Why did you need to trade ones block for tenths?
b. Why did you separate the tenths into groups of four tenths?
c. How many groups of your tenths do you have?
d. What is the quotient of 1.2 0.4?
e. Use decimal models to divide 2.6 by 0.2.
Activity 2: Coins Model
Materials: 0.25; 0.05 / 25 5 coins
How many five centavos are there in twenty-five centavo coins?
To find the answer, divide: 25 5 = 5
0.25 0.05 = 5
0.25 0.05 = 5
0.25 = 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05
The division expression 0.25 0.05 might not look so easy without thinking of money.
Activity 3: Number line Model
Look at this number line model of 0.25 0.05:
0.0 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30

Without using the models, observe that the divisor is changed to a whole number. Whatever
you do to your divisor, you do it also to the dividend. How will you make your divisor a whole
number? What is the short way of multiplying decimals by 10,000 and 1,000?
2. Generalization
How will you divide decimals by decimals?
When dividing decimals by decimals, you usually change the divisor to a whole number. To
do this, multiply both the divisor and dividend by a power of 10. Then divide as with whole
numbers.
Note: When multiplying by powers of ten, move the decimal to the right as many places
as the number of zeros in the power of ten.

After completing the data the discussion follows. What is the relationship of ratios to fraction?
to percent?
If your data is written in the ratio form, can you write it in fraction form? How can we get
percent equivalent of a ratio and a fraction?
2. Generalization
Ratio is a comparison between two or more quantities. It can also be expressed as a fraction
the first number being the denominator. Through ratios and fractions we can get the percent
equivalent by dividing the numerator by the denominator. The result is a decimal but move
the decimal point two places to the right and affix the percent sign.

My Favorite Fruit
Mechanics:
a. Divide the class into 8 groups. Each group chooses a leader.
b. Present this question: If you were to choose, which fruits would you like to eat everyday?
c. Let each group decide on their favorite fruit among the fruits posted on the board.
d. Request the group leaders to stand at the back of the classroom.
e. When the teacher gives the signal, the leaders will go to the fruit the group chose.
f. Let the leaders explain their choices.
g. Let the pupils form the ratios for each fruit chosen: number of groups who chose the fruit
to the total number of groups.
h. Convert the ratios to fractions and then to percents.
i. Lead the discussion by asking the questions such as:
How many groups are there? 8
How many chose papaya? 2
How do we write this in percent? 25%
We can write: 25% of 8 = 2
We deal with three elements: rate, base, percentage:
25 % of 8 = 2
The relationship among the three is:
R x B = P or P = R x B
25 % is the rate. It is given as a percent. It can be expressed as a ratio or fraction
100
25
.
8 is called the base. It is a whole number of which you take the percent.
2 is called the percentage, meaning a part of the whole. It is the resulting fractional
part of the base.
Other examples are given, like:
15% of 575 = N
The teacher will ask:
Which is the percent? 15%
Which is the whole? 575
Which is the part of the whole? N
What do you call 15%? Rate.
What do you call 575? Base.
What does N stand for? Percentage.
Strategy 2: Using A Problem Opener

Base
Percentage
287
Mechanics:
a. Teacher asks the following questions:
1) How many pupils does Mrs. Santiago have in all?
40 is the base.
2) How many percent of the pupils like mathematics?
75% is the rate which can be expressed as a ratio or a fraction.
3) How may pupils love mathematics?
We are going to solve for this, we represent it by N.
4) How do we translate the problem into an equation?
75% of 40 = N
Rate = 75%
Base = 40
Percentage = ?
b. Give other problem statements where pupils will identify the rate, base and percentage?
1) 50 % of 40 is what number?
2) 25% of 900 = N
3) 10 is what percent of 100?
4) 85% of 900 = N
Which element is missing in the problem?
Strategy 3: Concept Development
Mechanics:
1) Divide the class into 5 groups.
2) Teacher will flash mathematical statements or equations like:
80% of 9,475 = N
40 is 50% of what number?
What number is 16% of 25?
25 is what percent of 800?
3) Ask the pupils to identify the given elements in the problems and determine which
elements are missing.
4) Define percentage, rate and base.
5) Give more examples of percent problems and let the pupils identify the elements and
translate them into equations.
6) The group with the most number of correct answers wins.
2. Generalization
Rate is the number written with the word percent or with the symbol %.
Base is the total or whole and it is the number that usually follows the phrase percent of or
% of.
