B. LESSON PROPER
1. Activity
● Math Investigation
You are the cook at the canteen of an elementary school in your town. The
school principal has asked you to cook pork sinigang, pork kaldereta, and pork
adobo for a school celebration. Here is the list of ingredients that you need to
buy.
Pork sinigang : ½ kg of pork and 1/8 kg of gabi
Pork kaldereta: ¾ kg of pork, 1/8 kg of potatoes, and ¼ kg of carrots
Pork adobo: ¾ kg of pork and ¼ kg of potatoes

Solve for the total amount of ingredients that you will need.

Questions:
What are the common ingredients in the list?
What is the sum of common ingredients?
2. Analysis
● How did you get the sum of each ingredient?
● Have you encountered improper fractions? What did you do after?
3. Abstraction

● Addition of Fractions and Mixed Numbers without Regrouping

In adding similar fractions, add the numerators and just copy the common denominator.

Example:
5 1 5+1 6 1
+ = = ∨
12 12 12 12 2

In adding a fraction and a mixed number, see if the fraction and the fractional part of
the number are similar fractions. Write the whole number of the mixed number. Then
add the numerators of the fractions and copy the denominator.

(Show and explain Example 1 from the book on page 4.)

In adding dissimilar fractions, convert the fractions first to similar fractions. You
can also find their equivalent fractions with the same denominator to make
them similar fractions.

(Show and explain examples 2 and 3 from the book on pages 5-6)

● Addition of Fractions and Mixed Numbers with Regrouping

Regrouping in fractions is done when the sum of the fractional parts of mixed
numbers is greater than one.

(Show and explain Examples 4 and 5 from the book on pages 7-8.)

4. Application
Fraction Relay

Divide the class into 3 teams. Each team has a set of fraction cards with like and unlike
denominators. The first student in each team runs to the board, adds the first two cards,
and writes the answer. They then run back and tap the next student who does the same.
The team that finishes first wins.
