Numbers
What are these numbers?
Odd Even
Odd numbers when divided by Even numbers when divided
2 leave a remainder of 1. by 2 leaves no remainder.
A number that cannot be A number that can be grouped
grouped by twos is called odd. by twos is an even number.
It ends with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. It ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.

02 Fractions
Using Regions, Sets, and Number Line
Regions
a space in the shape that either is separated by lines or
is surrounded by lines
Sets
a collection of distinct objects forming a group
Number line
a pictorial representation of numbers on a straight line.
Fractions
A fraction is a part of a whole. It can be shown as a
part of a set, a region, or a point between two whole
numbers in the number line.
A fraction whose numerator and denominator are the
same is equal to one.
NUMERATOR
The number above the fraction bar
that represents how many parts of the whole are
being considered.
DENOMINATOR
The number below the fraction
bar that represents how many pieces/parts the
whole is divided into.
There are different ways to represent fractions. Look at the shapes below.
Three out of the 10 circles in the figure are shaded.
The shaded regions in the rectangle also shows 3/10.

Look at the number line below
The number line shows numbers between 0 and 1.
Since fractions are part of a whole, they are smaller than 1.
The fraction 3/10 can be found between 0 and 1.

VOCABULARY BANK
● Ingredient - material needed to
make a food product
● Recipe - a list of steps and materials
needed to prepare a dish
● Ascending - from smallest to biggest
● Descending - largest to smallest
Dissimilar Fractions
Fractions that have different
denominators are called dissimilar
fractions.
The fractions 3/4 and 1/2 are dissimilar
because their denominator is not the
same.
Examples
Sample Problem: BAKING INGREDIENTS
Corrine joined Carlos and his mom for a baking session. They brought out the
ingredients needed to bake monay. Carlos prepared 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter.
Which ingredient had a bigger amount?
Sample Problem: BAKING INGREDIENTS
Corrine joined Carlos and his mom for a baking session. They brought out the
ingredients needed to bake monay. Carlos prepared 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter.
Which ingredient had a bigger amount?
Let's show the fractions using bars.
Based on the bars, 3/4 has more shaded parts. Therefore, the ingredient that has a bigger amount is
sugar and the recipe that is more needed is sugar than butter.
We can also compare dissimilar fractions by changing them to
similar fractions. We do this by using equivalent fractions.
REMEMBER!
In using EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS, you need to look
for a certain number that you can multiply it both
sides (numerator and denominator) then look at the
denominator if both given fractions has the same
denominator.
In addition, this method is trial and error. So, you need
to think of a lot of numbers to multiply to the given
fractions.
Continuation: BAKING INGREDIENTS
Aside from 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter, the recipe also needed 2/3 cup powdered
milk.Which ingredient had the most amount? Which ingredient had the least amount?
Let's try comparing three dissimilar fractions.

Aside from 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter, the recipe also needed 2/3 cup powdered
milk.Which ingredient had the most amount? Which ingredient had the least amount?
Find the equivalent fractions that have the same denominator.
Let's change the fractions to similar fractions

6/12
8/12
9/12
To get the Equivalent Fractions, you can also
ADD the fractions to its original form.
Like:
¾ + ¾ = 6/8
6/8 + ¾ = 9/12

How to Find Equivalent Fractions?
Equivalent fractions are evaluated by multiplying or
dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the
same number. Therefore, equivalent fractions, when
reduced to their simplified value, will all be the same.
Note:
We can only multiply or divide by the same numbers to
get an equivalent fraction and not addition or
subtraction. Simplification to get equivalent numbers
can be done to a point where both the numerator and
denominator should still be whole numbers.
Examples
Let's visualize the sheets of paper they used.
The shaded parts show the sheets each of them used. What did you
notice? The fractions are equal.
The numerators and denominators of 1/2 and 2/4 are different, but they
are fractions of equal size. We call them equivalent fractions.
Let's look at other equivalent fractions.
We can get equivalent fractions by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the
same number.
With this, we can list several fractions that are equivalent to a given
fraction.
Adding ⅔ four times to get 8/12.
⅔ + ⅔ = 4/6 + ⅔ = 6/9 + ⅔ = 8/12
