This detailed lesson plan outlines a 50-minute math lesson for 4th grade students on adding similar fractions. The lesson begins with an energizer activity and review of the previous lesson. Students will then participate in drills and a group game to motivate learning. The teacher will present examples of adding proper, improper, and mixed fractions with the same denominator. Students will apply this by working in groups. To conclude, the class will summarize the steps and the teacher will provide an assignment on adding similar fractions.

a. Preliminary Activity 1. Prayer Everybody stand up for the prayer 2. Greetings Good morning class! Good morning Ma’am! 3. Energizer Let us follow the video that is presented . Students will follow
4. checking of attendance First row, is there any absences? None Ma’am How about Row 2? None Ma’am 5. checking of assignments Yesterday, I gave you assignment, who can Solve the Following . read the directions?
Now class, if someone is talking here in front, what will you do? We will listen Ma’am.
Very good. And what if I will give an activity? We will participate Ma’am.
If you want to answer questions, what will you do? Raise our hands Ma’am. Very good. - I have here a box, you are going to pick 1 paper, if you picked Blue paper, then you are Group 1, and if you picked the Green paper, you belong to Group 2. I have here a chart, each group has two circles with missing pieces. When you participate and behave, I will paste a one missing part on your group’s circle. At the end of the class, the group who completes the missing part of their circle will receive a prize. Do you understand ? Yes Ma’am. b. Developmental Activity 1. drill
Now class, let’s have a quick review, what was our
lesson yesterday? Our lesson yesterday was all about Dissimilar Fraction.
And what dissimilar fraction? Dissimilar fraction are fractions with different denominators.
3. Motivation Before we will formally start our lesson for today, I want you all to stand up, because we’re going Me Ma’am to have a quick game. Who wants to play game?
Okay, here’s the instruction. Go to your group, I will
ask you questions that is still regarding math. For example: 78+25 is equal to? a. 103 b. 107 c. 110 If your answer is letter A, you shot the ball in the Blue box, if it is letter B, shot the ball in the Green box, and Yes Ma’am Red box for the letter C. Do you understand class?
Okay. So I will give one ball in each group. I want Yes Ma’am everyone to participate, okay?
4. Presentation Of the Lesson
Our lesson for today is all about “ Addition of Similar
Fraction”
What is a Fraction? Fraction represents part of a whole. When something is broken up into a number o parts, the fraction shows how many of those parts you have .
There are types of Fractions, but as of now we will
concentrate on Similar Fractions. Similar Fraction are fractions having the same denominators. How are we going to add similar fractions? Step 1: Ensure that all denominators are the same. Step 2: Add all the numerators. The sum will be the numerator of our answer. Step 3: Copy the denominator. This will be the denominator of our answer. Step 4: Add all the whole numbers if it is mixed numbers. Step 5: Convert your answer into its lowest term or mixed numbers. Here are some examples:
Solve 1/5 + 3/5
Step 1 is to check the denominators. All the denominators are the same 5 thus we can proceed to step 2. Step 2 is to add all numerators. Let us add 1 and 3. This will give us 4. Step 3 is to copy the denominator. Our denominator is 5. Step 4 is to add whole numbers. Since we do not have mixed numbers, then we can skip this step. Step 5 is to convert our answer into its lowest term. Since 4/5 is already the lowest term, then 4/5 is our final answer.
Example no.2 Let us try to add more proper fractions.
The same procedure will be applied when adding improper fractions with the same denominator.
Example No.3 Let’s take a look at another example of adding similar fractions. This time, we are going to add a proper fraction and improper fraction. We will follow the same steps. To make it simple, to add fractions with like or the same denominator, simply add the numerators then copy the common denominator. Always reduce your final answer to its lowest term.
Now class, I need any volunteer to answer the fractions
written on the board.
1. 2 + 3 2. 8 + 7 3. 6 + 9 4 4 6 6 7 7
5. Discussion
Based on the presentation I made, who can Step 1: Ensure that all denominators are enumerate the steps in adding similar fraction? the same. Step 2: Add all the numerators. The sum will be the numerator of our answer. Step 3: Copy the denominator. This will be the denominator of our answer. Step 4: Add all the whole numbers if it is mixed numbers. Step 5: Convert your answer into its lowest term or mixed numbers.
Very good. How about we add improper fractions with
the same denominator. What procedure will be use? The same procedure Ma’am
When adding a proper fraction and improper fraction
with the same denominator, are we still using the same Yes Ma’am steps?
6. Application Class, we will have another activity, you are going to apply what we have discuss awhile ago. Go to your group. Before we will start, what will you do during our activity? Help the group mates Ma’am
Okay, very good. You may now start.
Group 1: Add the following Similar Fractions:
1. 1 + 4 = 3. 5 + 1 = 5. 2 + 1 = 9 9 7 7 8 8
2. 6 + 1 = 4. 3 + 1 = 8 8 5 5
Group 2: Instructions: Add the following similar fractions, write your answers on the box provided.
1. 2 + 2 = 4 4
2. 3 + 7 = 2 2
3. 5 + 4 = 6 6
4. 1 + 2 = 3 3
5. 5 + 7 = 8 8
7. Generalization
Class, how will you add similar fractions? To add fractions with like or the same denominator, simply add the numerators then copy the common denominator. Always reduce your final answer to its lowest term.
Let’s read the concept of our lesson.
Do you understand children? Yes Ma’am Is there any question ? No Ma’am IV. EVALUATION
Add the following similar fractions
V. ASSIGNMENT
Since you already know how to add similar fractions, I
want you to try this one. Pass this tomorrow, this serves as your assignment.
1.) 2 + 1 = 3.) 3 + 1 = 5 5 5 5
2.) 2 + 4 = 4.) 2 + 3 = 7 7 9 9
5.) 9 + 3 = 20 20
As I promised awhile ago, the group who have many
remaining stars on their chart will receive a price.
