SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN

IN
MATHEMATICS 4

I.OBJECTIVE

At the end of the lesson, the pupils should be able to:

a. Identify proper fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers.
II.SUBJECT MATTER
a. Topic: Identifying proper fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers
b. Materials: pictures of fractional parts
c. Reference: K to 12 Grade 4 TG pages 132-134, LM Math Grade 4 pages 103-105
d. Value Focus: Helpfulness

III. PROCEDURE
A.Preliminary Activity
1. Drill
Have a drill on visualizing and identifying fractions using pictures.

2. Review
Have a review on representing fraction through sets, regions, etc.
Provide exercises where pupils represent fractions through sets, regions, etc.

B. During Activity
1. Motivation
Ask: How many of you go to the market with your parents? What do you buy
from the market?
Why do you have to go the market with your parents?
2.Presentation
Have the pupils read and understand the situation below.
One Saturday morning, Albert accompanied his mother to the
market to buy ingredients for the dish. They bought ¾ kilogram of
potatoes, and 5/4 kilograms of chicken and 1 ¾ kilograms of potatoes.
Albert carried the ingredients in going home.

3.Comprehension Check
Ask this questions:
What ingredients did Albert and his mother buy?
What do you think is Albert’s mother going to cook?
What kind of a boy is Albert?
Will you do the same to your mother?
Infuse the value of being helpful.

4.Performing the Activities

Group the pupils into five working teams.
Set standards in group activity.
Using regions, let the pupils illustrate the fractions used in the
 problem.
Have them identify the kinds of fractions shown by the regions. Let them
present their output
Expected answers:

¾ kg 5/4 kg 1 ¾ kg
Less than one whole More than one whole Combination of a whole and part
of a whole

5. Processing the Activities

After the activity, ask the pupils to say something about the activity.
Ask: What can you say about the first fraction?
Can you give other examples?
What can you say about the second fraction?
Can you give other examples?
What is a mixed number?

Introduce the term proper fraction for a fraction whose numerator is smaller
than the
denominator; improper fraction for a fraction whose numerator is equal to
or greater than the
denominator; and mixed number for a fraction which is a sum of a whole
number and a fraction.

6. Reinforcing the Concept and Skill

Visualizing and representing fractions that are less than one, equal to one,
and greater than one.
Using flash cards with fractions (proper fraction, improper fraction, and
mixed number), choose three pupil leaders to hold the signs: Proper fraction,
improper fraction, and mixed number. Let pupils group themselves into three and by
groups, let them form their lines at the center.
The teacher flashes the cards. The first group will go to the pupil leader to
give the answer for the card. Once finished answering, they will go back to their own
seats.

Examples:

Discuss the presentation then give the following exercises.

Write P if the given is proper fraction. I if it is an improper fraction, and M if it is a

 mixed number.

____1.6/11 _____2.1 2/7 _____3.15/6

____4.3/8 _____7/18

7. Summarizing the lesson

Lead the pupils to generalize as follows:

A fraction whose numerator is less than the denominator is called proper fraction. It
is a fraction less than one.
A fraction whose numerator is equal or greater than the denominator is called
improper fraction. It is a fraction equal to one or greater than 1.
A fraction which is a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction is called a
mixed number.

8.Application
Write the given fractions in the appropriate column.

6/7 3/10 3 2/5 11/7 5 1/8 1/5 7/4 15/6 8/9 13/5

Proper Fraction Improper Fraction Mixed Number

IV. EVALUATION
Identify the fractions given below. Put a check (/) mark on proper fractions, mark (x) the
improper fractions and encircle the mixed numbers.

9/8 13/11 3 4/10

19/16 15/17 7 5/6

21/9 6/13 7/5 3/7

V. ASSIGNMENT
 Write P if the given fraction is proper fraction, I if improper fraction and M If it is a mixed
number.
