Drill
“Find your Partner”
Make 2 sets of flash cards. In one set are
fractions written in symbol
while in the other set are fractions written in
words.
Distribute the cards to the pupils. Tell them to
find their partner. Give
them ample time to do the activity. The first pair
to find his/her partner
and post their fractions on the board will be the
winner.
.Review
Write on the board “Fractions less than One,”
“Fractions more than One,” and “Fractions
Equal to One” (fraction on drill part.)
Motivation
Have you experienced going to the market?
What products do you usually buy in the market?
Flash some strips of paper with names of
commodities sold in the
market and hardware.
Check (√) on their show-me-board if the item
is sold in the market and cross (x) if the item is
sold in the hardware.
Presenting the Lesson

What recipe do you think Kathleen’s mother plans to

cook?
Do you also help your mother at home? How?
What household chores do you do to help your
mother?
If we are going to arrange the ingredients
from lightest to heaviest,
which should come first? second? third?
fourth? Why?

1/8 1/4 1/2 3/4

Let us use some drawings to represent the
weight of each ingredient.
From the drawing, which one is the lightest?
heaviest?
How will you arrange the fractions from
lightest to heaviest? heaviest
to lightest?
Aside from using drawing, how else can we
determine the value of dissimilar fractions so that
we can arrange them in increasing order. (By
changing them to similar fractions)

Least Common Denominator (LCD) Method

Do the ½, 1/8,1/4 Find the LCD.
For similar fractions, the bigger the numerator, the
greater the fraction.
So the fraction with the biggest numerator is 6/8.
Followed by 4/8,
then, 2/8, and lastly 1/8.
 Processing the Activities
How do we arrange/order fractions?
How are fractions arranged in ascending order?
descending order?
How do you arrange fractions with the same numerator
but different denominators?
How will you know if fraction has the greatest or least
value?
How about in dissimilar fractions? How will you know
which is the greatest or least?
How did you change dissimilar fractions to similar?
Why do we need to reduce fractions to lowest terms?
Is there another way that can help us easily arrange a set
of dissimilar fractions in increasing/decreasing order?
How?
Reinforcing the Concept
. Group Activity
Each group a set of fractions to be arranged
in increasing order..
Summarizing the Lesson
How do we arrange a set of fractions in
increasing or decreasing
order?
Unit Fractions
To order/arrange fractions with the same
numerators but different
denominators, compare their
denominators. The greater the
denominator of the fraction, the lesser the
fraction.
Applying to New and Other Situations

Paghambingin ang mga dissimilar faction sa bawat

pangkat at ayusin ang mga ito mula sa
pinakamaliit hanggang sa pinakamalaki.
EVALUATION

1) Kung aayusin ang pangkat ng fraction na ito mula sa

pinakamaliit, aling fraction ang:
a) una? ______
b) huli? ______
2) Kung aayusin ang pangkat ng fraction na ito mula sa
pinakamalaki, aling fraction ang:
a) una? ______
b) huli? ______
3) Ayusin ang pangkat ng fraction
a) Pinakamaliit hanggang sa pinakamalaki
b) Pinakamalaki hanggang sa pinakamaliit
HOMEWORK

Isinulat ni Aling Rosa ang pinamili ng lima niyang

customer.
Basahin at pag-aralan ang talaan na ginawa ni Aling
Rosa.
1) Ayusin ang pinamili ni Vicky mula sa
pinakakaunti hanggang sa pinakamarami.
2) Ayusin ang pinamili ni Letty mula sa
pinakamabigat hanggang sa pinakamagaan.
3) Alin sa mga pinamili ni Beth ang
pinakamabigat? pinakamagaan?
4) Ano ang binili ni Maria na pinakamabigat?
pinakamagaan?
5) Kung aayusin mo ang mga pinamili ni Anne
mula sa pinakamagaan hanggang sa
pinakamabigat, anong fraction ang magiging
ikatlo sa hanay?
