 COUNTING EQUAL GROUPS

What can you say about the number of goldfish in each aquarium?

There are 3 aquariums. Each aquarium has 4 goldfishes.

There are 3 groups and there are 4 in each group.
We can say that there are “3 groups of 4.” This is an example of an
“expression” or a mathematical phrase.
To form this expression, we first count the number of equal groups. Then,
we count the number of objects in each group.

Let us study another example.

a. Equivalent expression: 6 groups of 2

There are 6 groups with 2 equal objects in each group.

How many groups are there? 1 2 3 4 5 6

How many are there in each group?

How many is 6 groups of 2? 2 4 6 8 10 12

Skip count by 2s to find out how many objects are there.

There are 12 in 6 groups of 2.

 SEPARATING BIG GROUPS INTO EQUAL AND SMALLER GROUPS

Here is a group of 20 cherries. Let us separate them into smaller groups with 4
cherries.

This is 20 grouped by 4s.

Here is another example.
My sister and I have 9 strawberries each. We want to share it with 3 of our
friends—Carol, Irene, and Anne. How many equal strawberries will each of our
friends get?
Leigh and Len have 9 strawberries each or 2 groups of 9.
Leigh Len

Carol, Irene, and Anne have 6 strawberries each or 3 groups of 6.

 This is 18 grouped by 6s.

Activity 3
Directions: Do the following and answer the questions.
1. Circle groups of 2 oranges.
a. How many oranges are there in all? ________________________
b. How many groups of 2 did you make?________________________
c. Can you make equal groups of 3 oranges? Why?
_______________________________________________________

2. Make 4 groups with an equal number of watermelons.

a. How many watermelons are there in all? ___________________
b. How many groups of 4 did you make? ___________________
c. If you are going to make groups with 8 watermelons each, will you have
more groups than your answer in letter b? Explain your answer.
Activity 4
Directions: Use to show each expression.
1. 8 grouped by 4s

2. 10 grouped by 5s

3. 36 grouped by 6s

5. 50 grouped by 10s
FRACTIONAL PARTS OF A WHOLE REGION

We can divide a whole egg pie into smaller and equal parts. Each part of a
whole is called a fraction.
Let us look at how the students will share the egg pie.

One whole is divided into two equal parts. So if we cut a 1 whole egg pie, each
part becomes a half or one-half (1/2). Two half is called halves.

If the whole egg pie is divided equally among 4 pupils, what part of the pie will
each get?

This is how a whole is divided into four equal parts. So if we slice the egg pie
into 4 equal parts, each part is called one-fourth (1/4).
 One-half (1/2) and one-fourth (1/4) are called fractions.

These are the parts of a fraction.

1 Numerator – tells us how many parts of the whole we have
4 Denominator - tells us how many parts make up the whole
It is important to know that a whole or a set must be equally divided before
each part will be given a fraction name.

Activity 5
Directions: Name the fraction in each picture.
