lesson 1: Addition and Subtraction of Fractions

Learning Competencies/Objectives:
 M6NS-Ia-86 - Adds and subtracts simple fractions and mixed numbers
without or with regrouping.
 M6NS-Ia-87.3 – Solves routine and non-routine problems involving
addition and/or subtraction of fractions using appropriate problem-
solving strategies and tools.

Drill:
Classifying similar and dissimilar fractions.

Review:
Changing the dissimilar fractions to similar fractions.

Motivation:
Game (give the LCM using show-me-board)
“Do you know how to prepare dalandan juice?
“What are the effects of drinking dalandan juice to our
health?
(letting pupils share their ideas)

Presentation:
1. Presentation of the “Problem of the Day” (Engage Part page 3)
2. Pupils will analyze the problem. (AGONSA)
1 3
3. Show the representation of and using bar models. Explain that if
5 5
the denominator of two fractions is the same, then the fractions are
similar.
4. Explain that adding fractions is just like adding whole numbers. Let
the pupils write the mathematical sentence and answer tot the
problem. Have a pupil show his/her solution on the board and explain
4
his/her answer. The answer should be cup of liquid.

NOTE: two fractions are similar fractions if they have the same
denominator.
two fractions are dissimilar fraction s if they have different
denominators.
 5. Provide more examples.
6. Explain the process on how to simplify fractions.
7. Repeat the process in the discussion of subtraction of fractions.
8. Explain the process in adding and subtracting dissimilar fractions.
9. Discuss thoroughly the process in adding and subtracting mixed
numbers.

Deepening:
Think-pair-share: Let every pair answer the questions posted on the
board.

Generalization:
Ask the following questions:
 When do we use fractions?
 Why fractions are important?
 How do we add/subtract fractions if the fractions and similar
fractions?
 How do we add/subtract fractions if the fractions are dissimilar
fractions?
 How do we add/subtract mixed fractions with similar fractions?
 How do we add/subtract mixed fractions with dissimilar
fractions?
Application:
Group Activity: Let the pupils create a scenario about the given topic
and let them solve the word problem created and present it to the
class afterwards.
Group 1: Adding/Subtracting Similar Fractions
Group 2: Adding/ Subtracting Dissimilar Fractions
Group 3: Adding/Subtracting Mix Numbers with Similar
Fractions
Group 4: Adding/Subtracting Mix Numbers with Dissimilar
Fractions

Formative Assessment:
Let the pupils answer the odd numbers on page 13 and 14 - Evaluate A,
B, and C.

Remediation Activity:
For pupils who did not pass the formative assessment, let them answer
the even numbers on page 13 and 14 - Evaluate A, B, and C.

Enrichment Activity:
For pupils who pass the formative assessment, let them answer
problems on page 14 and 15 – Evaluate D and Math Challenge A.
