Follow Up Activity
 Before starting the activity, the teacher will
remind the pupils in proper handling of sharp
objects.
 The teacher will distribute following objects to the
5 groups (1 object per group).
 Group1 - a piece of paper
 Divide the piece of paper into 4
  Take a part of the paper and write the
fraction name for the taken part on your
drill board.
 Write other possible fractions less than
one.
 Group2 - an apple
 Divide the apple into 3
 Take 2 of the apple and write the fraction
name for the taken part on your drill
board.
 Write other possible fractions less than
one.
 Group3 - a donut
 Divide the donut into 4
 Take 2 parts of the apple and write the
fraction name for the taken part on your
drill board.
 Write other possible fractions less than
one.
 Group4 - a loaf of bread
 Divide the loaf of bread into 6
 Take 4 parts of the loaf of bread and
write the fraction name for the taken part
on your drill board.
 Write other possible fractions less than
one.
 Group5 - 8 cookies
 Take 5 cookies and write the fraction name
for the taken part on your drill board.
 Write other possible fractions less than
one.

4. Generalization
 When can we say that a  A fraction is a
fraction is a fraction fraction less than
less than one? one if their
numerators are less
than their
denominators.

5. Application
 The teacher will show fractions on flashcards. The
pupils will raise their white gloves if the
flashcard shows a fraction less than one and raise
the black glove if not.

IV. Evaluation
DIRECTIONS: Circle every picture that has a shaded
part equivalent to the given fraction.

V. Assignments
DIRECTIONS: Put a star () on the blank if the
fraction is less than one and a cross () if it is NOT
less than one.
