Quarter 3 – Module 2a:
Visualizing Fractions Equal to One and
Greater than One
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Grade 3 Mathematics Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)
Module on Visualizing Fractions Equal to One and Greater than One!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or
facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints
in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to
help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that will
help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage
and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you comprehend Fractions that are equal to one and greater than one. The scope
of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons
are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in
which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are
now using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

 Visualize the fractions equal to one and greater than one;

Enjoy your journey. Good luck!

What’s New
Before we discuss about fractions equal to one and greater
than one in this module, it is important to understand the
following terms used in the course of the lesson.
 Numerator - is the number above the line in a common
fraction. It tells how many parts indicated by the
denominator are taken.
 Denominator - is the number below the line in a common
fraction. It tells how many times the whole is being divided.

Activity 1
Below are two sets of fractions.

2 3 45 4 7 87
2 3 45 3 4 65

What do you notice about their numerators and denominators?

Color the set GREEN whose numerators are the same with the denominators.
Color the set RED whose numerators are greater than their denominators

What is It

A. Let us visualize fractions equal to one.

It is easy to determine that a given fraction is equal to one.

These are fractions that have the same numerator and denominator.
Examples are shown below.

4
2 4
2
two-halves 4
four-fourths

3 5
3
three-thirds 5
five-fifths

Notice that each fraction above visualized a whole.

Each whole is divided according to the number of the given denominator.
All parts are shaded because the number of its numerator is equal to its
denominator.

5
B. Let us visualize fractions greater than one.

A fraction is said to be greater than one if its numerator is greater than the
denominator.
Examples are shown below.
3 7
2
three-halves 4
seven-fourths

5 14
3
five-fourths 5
fourteen-fifths

Notice that each fraction above visualized more than one whole.
Each whole is divided according to the number of the given denominator.
The total number of the shaded parts follows the number of its numerator.
In visualizing fraction greater than one, since the numerator is greater than the
denominator just add another whole with the same number of divided parts until
the total number of shaded parts is attained.
This time, try to work by yourself what we have discuss in this section by
answering the following activities.

 What I Have Learned

How to visualize fractions that are equal to one and greater than one?
A. Determine whether the fraction is equal or greater than one.
1. Fractions are called “fractions equal to one” when their numerators and
denominators are the same.
2. Fractions are called “fractions more than one” when their numerators are
greater than their denominators.

B. Divide the whole according to the number of the given

denominator.

Shade the parts following the number of its numerator.

If the fraction is equal to one, just divide the whole into equal parts
according to the value of the numerator and denominator then shade all the
parts.

In visualizing fraction greater than one, since the numerator is greater than
the denominator just add another whole with the same number of divided
parts until the total number of shaded parts is attained.
