The Lesson Guides in Elementary Mathematics were
developed by the Department of Education through the Bureau of
Elementary Education in coordination with the Ateneo de Manila
University. These resource materials have been purposely
prepared to help improve the mathematics instruction in the
elementary grades. These provide integration of values and life
skills using different teaching strategies for an interactive
teaching/learning process. Multiple intelligences techniques like
games, puzzles, songs, etc. are also integrated in each lesson;
hence, learning Mathematics becomes fun and enjoyable.

The skills are consistent with the Basic Education
Curriculum (BEC)/Philippine Elementary Learning Competencies
(PELC). These should be used by the teachers as a guide in their
day-to-day teaching plans.

B. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation

Promote higher order thinking skills by playing Number Scramble.

Strategy 1

Mechanics:

a. Teacher provides each team of 4 members with cards bearing numbers 0 to 9. Pupils
are to use these cards to form the number being asked to satisfy given conditions.
b. Give an example. Explain that the pupils may use the cards to identify the number being
asked for. Encourage the use of logic (ie. When asked for smallest number possible, we
start with the smallest digit possible)
Example:
Without repeating any digit, form the least 3-digit number divisible by 2. (102)
c. Since the cards limit the use of the digit once in the number only, teacher should ask for
numbers without repeating digits. Teacher may also ask for a number that satisfies
divisibility rules for 2 numbers. (e.g. Divisible by both 2 and 5)
d. Give a time limit for each question. Pupils will form the number being asked for using the
number cards. They will sit down once the number is formed, which should be read
correctly from left to right. The team earns points with every correct answer.
e. When the pupils are used to such questions, teacher may now get the cards and give
conditions that may use a digit repeatedly. (i.e., What is the least 3-digit number divisible
by 4?) (100)

Strategy 2

a. Teacher shows number with a blank (or those that need replacement) for missing digit.
b. Pupils are to provide the greatest/least digit that can satisfy the given condition.
Example:
What is the greatest digit that will make 604_8 divisible by 3? (9)
What digit should replace 5 in 5746 to make it divisible by 6? (4)

C. Application

this time?

a. Help the pupils understand the problem by answering some comprehension questions.
Then ask: What are given? What is asked?

Valuing:
You may further ask: What kind of boy is Paolo?

b. Lead them in planning what to do by asking some questions such as:
How will you find out which is greater between
6
5
hour and
3
2
hour? What kind of
fractions are they? How will you compare them? Can you tell at once which of the two
fractions is greater?

c. To help pupils answer the problem present the fraction bar on the board.


- one whole

- one whole divided into 3 equal
parts. We shaded 2 equal parts.

- one whole divided into 6 equal
parts. We shaded 5 equal parts.

Using the illustration, can you easily tell which of the two is greater? (
6

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
.
b. If the numerator is less than of the denominator, estimate it as close to 0.
c. If the numerator is or more of the denominator, estimate it as close to 1.

III. Learning Experiences

A. Preparatory Activities

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.

What amounts have you recorded for the 1st pair of envelopes? What total amount did you
get for the two?
Teacher reflects the answers on the board.




225
Teacher reflects the answers on the board.
Example: 2.25
+ 1.75
4.00
The teacher continues asking same set of questions for the next 2 pairs of envelopes and at
the same time reflecting the answers on the board.
The teacher may ask:
What did you notice with the digits that have the same place value?
What about the decimal points?
Do we add decimal numbers the way we add whole numbers? Was there regrouping done?
Lead the pupils in discovering the rules to follow in adding mixed decimals with regrouping.
For Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), the teacher may ask:
Why is it so important to line up decimal points accurately?
(To keep the proper place value of the digits in the number.)


Strategy 2: Modeling
Materials: Grid papers (Flats 100 squares)
Using a problem opener:
Armani and Julius went fishing. They caught 2 big fishes weighing 2.15 kg and 1.95
kg. What is the total weight of the 2 fishes?
a. The teacher may ask some comprehension questions.
b. Guide the pupils in analyzing the problem by asking: What are given? What is being
asked?
c. Help them plan what to do. Ask: What should you do to find the answer to the
questions? What is the number equation?
d. Let the pupils write their equation on the board. (2.15 + 1.95 = N)
e. Show a flat and say: If this represents 1 kg, how will you represent 2.15 kg? 1.95 kg?
(For 2.15 2 flats and shade 15 of the 100 squares or .15, for 1.95 1 flat and shade 95
of the 100 squares or .95)
f. Elicit from the pupils; to find the total, the flats must be put together and also the shaded
parts. (As shown in the figure A.)
1 2












0.95 0.15










Figure A

226
Put together the 95 and 15 shaded squares, by crossing out five squares from the 15 squares
and combining them with the 95 squares.
Ask: What did we actually do (we regroup). What did we form?
(1 flat and 10 shaded squares.)

1 flat 10 out of 100 or .10










Figure B

Using the models, what is the sum of 1.95 and 2.15? (4 flats and 10 shaded squares)
This means in symbol 4.10.
Write the equation on
the board:
The teacher asks some analysis questions:
What did you notice with the digits with the same place value?
What about the decimal points?
How are they arranged?
Do we add decimal numbers just like adding whole numbers?
Was there regrouping done?
Lead the pupils in discovering the rules in adding mixed decimals with regrouping.
Give some additional practice exercises.

2. Generalization

How do we add mixed decimals with regrouping?
Write the numbers in column putting the digits that have the same place value in one
column.
Line up decimal points.
Start adding the digits with the least place value. Regroup if the sum of the figures in one
column exceeds 10. Add the numbers the way you add whole numbers.

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

1. Presentation

Strategy: Cooperative Learning

Materials: decimal models

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
0.05 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.05

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.

Strategy 1: Survival Game (Concept Development)

Materials: Cassette tape (Modeling)
Mechanics:
a. Let 5 boys and 5 girls stand in front of the class forming a circle. While the music is being
played the participants move around.
b. When the music stops the teacher will say The boat is sinking, all aboard by 2. The
participants then group themselves by 2.
c. The group continues till the players form a ratio.


Discuss the following to the pupils:

For instance, in the first group there are 3 girls and 1 boy left. Then the ratio of boys to girls
is 1:3.

The ratio of girls to boys is 3:1.

If we are to write the ratio 1:3 in fraction, which will be the numerator? the denominator?
If we are to get how many percent of the pupils are boys, in relation to the group, divide the
numerator by the denominator.
0.33 or 33%

a. 10 yrs, old to 11 yrs, old
b. tricycle riders to walkers
c. pupils who buy lunch to those who bring lunch
d. 10 yrs, old to tricycle riders
e. 11 yrs, old to tricycle riders

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.

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

.
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

Strategy 3: Use a problem opener

Mrs. Nicolas planted dwarf santan around her circular flower garden which has a
diameter of 8 metres. How many metres did she plant with dwarf santan?

Ask the following questions:
- What is asked?
- What are given?
- How will you solve the problem?
- What is the formula in finding the circumference of a circle?
- Visualize on how to find the circumference using a string with metre markings on
it.
Place the string around the circle. Count the number of metre markings. There are
more than 25 spaces or metres. Why do we have to measure accurately? To find
the circumference, use Pi () a mathematical constant. Its value is 3.14. It is the ratio
of the circumference to the diameter of a circle.
=
d
c
so C = x d or C = 2r
To find the circumference, multiply the diameter with 3.14.
d = 8 m
C = x d
= 3.14 x 8 m
= 25.12 m planted with dwarf santan

If radius is given use this formula, C = 2r
Given: 4 metres radius
C = (2 x 3.14)4
= 6.28 x 4
= 25.12 m
