Date: ___________
I. Objectives:
Cognitive: Visualize subtraction of fraction
Values: Perseverance in one’s work
II. Learning Content
Skills: Visualize subtraction of fractions
References: BEC PELC II C1.1
Enfolding Mathematics V
Materials: concrete objects, fractional regions, flashcards, drill boards
II. Learning Experiences:
A. Preparatory Activities:
1. Drill
Drill on identifying fractional parts.
Strategy: Let’s Draw It!
Mechanics:
a. Pupils will be asked to get their drill boards, pieces of chalk and eraser
b. The teacher gives the direction while pupils follow
Example:
"Draw a circle. Shade 3/5 of it
c. Pupils will show their drawings to the teacher at the count of one to their classmates and the
count' of two and bring down the drill boards at the count of 3.
d. Other directions or exercises will
B. Developmental Activities:
1. Presentation:
Strategy : Using a problem opener with concrete objects.
Acting out the problem
1) (Show a pitcher containl1g some juice)
Mother prepared ¾ pitcher of juice. Her children arrived from school and drank 2/ 4
from it. How much juice was left on the pitcher?
2) Ask the following questions
a. What is asked?
b. What are the given?
c. What operation will be used? Why?
d. What is the subtraction sentence?
3) Give more examples of problems using other concrete objects to visualized subtraction of
fractions.
2. Practice Exercises
Show the following numbers sentences on the number line.
1) 8 - 3 2) 10 - 5 3) 9 - 3 4) 8 - 3 5) 6 - 3
12 12 15 15 11 11 10 10 8 8
3. Generalization:
How will you subtract similar fractions?
To subtract similar fractions, subtract the numerator then copy the denominator.
Express the answer in simplest form if possible.
IV. Evaluation:
Draw regions or number line to illustrate the following. Then find the difference.
1) 5 - 2 = 2) 7 - 4 = 3) 4 - 1 = 4) 9 - 4 = 5) 6 - 3 =
6 6 9 9 5 5 10 10 8 8
V. Assignment:
Illustrate the following equations by drawing fractional regions.
1) 8 - 3 = 2) 9 - 5 = 3) 6 - 6 = 4) 12 - 5 = 5) 9 - 2 =
7 7 12 12 11 11 15 15 11 11
