This document provides a detailed lesson plan for a 5th grade mathematics class on subtracting similar fractions. The objectives are to state the rule for subtracting fractions and find the difference of two fractions. The lesson proceeds step-by-step from an opening prayer and attendance, to defining similar fractions, demonstrating subtraction of similar fractions through examples, simplifying fractions to lowest terms, and providing practice problems for students to solve. The lesson aims to teach students how to subtract fractions with the same denominator by subtracting the numerators and copying the denominator.

A. Preliminary Activities
Good morning class! Good morning teacher!
B. Prayer
Every please stand and let us pray.
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed
be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Hail Mary, full of grace. Thankyou Teacher! You may now be seated.
C. Checking of attendance No one is absent for today Teacher! Is there any absentees for today?
D. Motivation
I have here 5 boxes of pizza. Each pizza
has a different number of slices. What you need to do is to identify how many slices are missing from the whole pizza. The twist of this game is that you have to say your answer in fraction form. Yes teacher! Are you ready class?
Okay let’s start.

\ E. Lesson Proper: A fraction can be said to be similar if they have Let’s define first what is similar the same denominator. fractions.
Who can explain the meaning of similar
fraction in simple words?
Very good, if the given fraction has a 1 5
and is an example of similar fraction. same denominator, it is called similar 8 8 fraction.
Who can give me an example of similar
fraction?
Okay very good.
Now let's try to solve subtraction using
similar fractions.
Try to solve this one.
Numerator teacher! 7 3 − =¿ 9 9
From the given equation, which one will Four Teacher
be the first to be subtracted? Is it the numerator or denominator?
Okay very good! So five minus three is
equals to? No teacher, we just need to copy the Okay, after subtracting the numerator, denominator. let’s proceed now to the denominator.
So we have nine minus nine. In solving
similar denominators, what should we do? shall we subtract it?
Okay very good. Always remember class
that in subtracting similar fractions, we Yes teacher! just need to subtract the numerator and then just copy the denominator and we can already get the required answer.
Is it clear class? Ten minus 4 is equals to 6 Now I will give another example. Copy the denominator and we can get the 10 4 6 − answer 12 12 12
Kindly please answer this equation.
Very good class.
Now class, in this part we need to get the
6 lowest term of 12
Okay so let’s use the given answer from
the equation.
The first thing to do is to find out where
the given number is divisible. Six is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 6 Teacher. So we have six in the numerator, where do you think six is divisible? 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 Teacher.
Very good, how about the denominator
which is 12, where is it divisible?
Okay, now in order for us to identify the
lowest term of the given fraction, we are 6 Teacher. going to find first the greatest common factor between the two numbers.
Kindly focus on the divisible numbers of
the two given numbers. Which one is the greatest common factor of those two?
Very good, so 6 will be their greatest
common factor or the GCF 1 Teacher. 2 Now all you need to do is to divide the GCF to the numerator and denominator.
Yes Teacher! And the answer that we can get is?
1 Therefore, will be the final answer. 2
Is it clear class?
Okay let’s have an activity.
F. Application:
Solve the following equations. Give the
required answer for each given. (Express the answer in lowest term, if possible).
10 5 1. − =¿ 15 15
12 10 2. − =¿ 25 25
5 2 3. − =¿ 6 6
24 15 4. − =¿ Yes Teacher! 10 10
13 3 5. − =¿ If they have the same denominator teacher! 15 15 Subtract the numerator and then copy the G. Generalization: denominator.
Are we clear with subtracting similar No teacher.
fractions?
Again, how will you determine a fraction
if they are similar?
Very good. And are we going to perform
a subtraction with similar fraction?
Very good. can we do this way of
subtracting even if it is not a similar fraction? Yes teacher!
None Teacher!
Yes because we have different ways in
solving similar and dissimilar fraction. And don’t forget to check if it is already in lowest term.
