III. PROCEDURE:

Teacher’s Activities Students’ Activities

A. Routinary Activities

1. Prayer

Everybody stand up. Let us pray. (the students will bow their heads and pray)

2. Greetings

Good morning, class! Good morning, Ma’am!

Pick up the pieces of trash under
your chairs. (the students will pick up the pieces of trash)
You may seat down.

3. Checking Attendance

Let’s check your attendance.

Franchesca, who is absent today? Franchesca: Ma’am I’m glad to inform you that no
one is absent today.
Thank you, Franchesca.

Very good attendance, class!

4. Checking of Assignments

Do you have an assignment? Yes Ma’am!

Pass your assignment forward then pass it (the students will pass their assignments)
sideward to your right.

5. Recall

Let’s review our topic yesterday.

 Who can remember our topic? Ma’am, our topic yesterday is about adding similar
fractions.
Very Good!

And what are the steps in adding similar

fractions? Ma’am, we add the numerator and copy the
denominator.
Excellent!
Let us check if you really remember it.

What is + ?
Ma’am, .
Very Good.

What is + ?
Ma’am, .
That’s right.

Excellent class!

It seems you understood our lesson very well.

B. Motivation

Before we proceed to our lesson for today.

Let’s play a game called Solve the Jumble!

Mechanics:
1. I will group you into two groups namely
Red team and Blue team.
2. Each group will receive letters that
members must form to make a word or
words and post it on the board.
3. The fastest group to form the jumbled
words will win the game and receive
(the students will play the game)
rewards.

And the Winner is Red/Blue team!

Let us give the winning team Math galing
clap!

I hope you enjoy our simple game!

Now, I want you to look at these two words on

the board.
Ma’am, Similar fractions, it is the fraction that
What does it mean?We already discussed it
have the same or similar denominator.
yesterday.

Very Good.

How about the second words? It also has

fractions that are examples. Now, what can
 you observe about the fractions?Any idea? Ma’am, Dissimilar fractions, it is the fraction that
do not have the same or similar denominator. It
has different denominators.
Very Good.

Yesterday, we discussed how to add similar

fractions. (students will do the Math galing clap)

Now, what if we have the given that is

dissimilar fractions? Is it the same as the
procedure in adding similar fractions?

Will you be excited to know how? Yes, Ma’am!

C. Lesson Proper

First, let us define what is dissimilar fractions.

What is dissimilar fractions?

Please read.

Dissimilar fractions- are fractions with ( the student will read the definition)
different denominators.

Good! Thank you, Sunshine.

Base on the definition of dissimilar fractions, Ma’am, + ?

who can give me an example of it.

Very Good!

Another one? Ma’am, + ?

That’s right.

Now that you know what dissimilar fractions

are, let us now discuss how to add dissimilar
fractions.

There are two ways to add dissimilar fractions:

First way, change dissimilar fractions to

similar fractions using equivalent fractions.

For example:

+ =?

1st step, Find the Lcd. Find first the least

common multiple of 4 and 5 by listing method.

5= 5,10,15,20
4= 4,8,12,16,20

Now, the Lcd is 20.

 2nd step, divide the Lcd to the first
denominator 5 and we get 4, and then multiply
it to the numerator 2, and that will give us the
answer 8, and copy the denominator which is
the lcd 20, so the first fraction will be .
After that, divide the Lcd to the second
denominator 4 and we get 5, and then multiply
it to the numerator 3, and that will give us the
answer 15, and copy the denominator which is
the lcd 20, so the first fraction will be .

3rd step, follow the rules in adding similar

fractions.

+ = =1

Another example…

Second way, by using cross multiplication or

sometimes called butterfly method.

For example:
10 9
+ = = =1

15

1st step, multiply the first numerator to the

second denominator then copy the addition
sign.

2nd step, multiply the second numerator to the

first denominator and put it after the plus sign.

3rd step, multiply the denominators and that

will be the denominator.

4th step, add the numerator and copy the

denominator.

5th step, simplify.

Another example…

Now, let us have a problem involving Yes, Ma’am!

dissimilar fraction. None, Ma’am!

Andrea wants to bake egg pie and buko pie. In

making egg pie, she will use of sugar and in
making buko pie, she will use of sugar. how
many sugar does she need to make both the
egg pie and buko pie?
 Who wants to answer on the board? ( student will answer on the board)

Very good, Nica.

Do you understand?
Do you have any question?

D. Application

Let’s have another group activity.

Go to your respective group.

Choose one representative who will explain

your group output on the board.

I will give you five minutes to do the activity.

Solve the following: Answers must be in

simplified form.

+ =? + =?

+ =? + =?

+ =? + =?

Are you done, class?

Yes, Ma’am!
Very Good!

Post your outputs on the board.

Let us start with Red Team.
+ = = =1

+ = =1

+ =

Very Good! That is correct!

Okay, let us hear from the Blue team. + = =1

+ = =1

+ = =1
Very Good! That is also correct!

Let’s give everyone a Math galing clap!

Do you understand our lesson, class? Yes, Ma’am!

 Do you have any questions? None, Ma’am!

E. Generalization

What is dissimilar fractions? Ma’am, dissimilar fractions are fractions with

different denominators.

Very Good!

How do we add dissimilar fractions? Ma’am, there are two ways to add dissimilar
fractions.
First way, change dissimilar fractions to similar
fractions using equivalent fractions.
Second way, by using cross multiplication or
sometimes called butterfly method.

Now, what do you think is the importance of

fraction in real life situation? (students answer vary)

Excellent answers!

Fraction is important because it helps people

in cooking, by measuring the ingredients that
will be used. Fraction is related to division and
it relate to everyday situations.

Excellent class!
I’m glad that you have learned our lesson for
today.

IV.Evaluation

To test if you really understand the lesson,

solve the following:

Direction: Solve the dissimilar fraction and

simplified the sum.

+ =? (the students will start answering)

+ =? Answers:

+ =?
+ = =

Please be guided with the scoring rubric + = = 1

below.

Solution - 3 points + =
Final Answer - 2 points
 IV. Assignment

Solve the problem. Simplify the sum.
