cake they took?
Very good! How did you get the answer?
What goodcharacteristicsdo MaโamGracehave?
Well done! So, it is one of the traits of a good
friend.
Letโs go back to the lesson, in adding similar
fractions what do we have to do?
Okay children there are different ways or method
for adding and subtracting similar fractions. This
can be used for small value fractions.
1. By drawing number lines
0 1/8 2/8 3/8 4/8 5/8 6/8 7/8 8/8
2. Another way is by constructing figures
or modeling.
3/8 4/8
Transfer the shaded portion of the second figure
to the first.
They are similar.
7/8
Add both the numerator
She is thoughtful cause she shared the food
with her friends.
Just add the numerator and write the same
denominator.
7. 3/8 + 4/8 = 7/8
3. By solving
Simply add the numerators and copy the
denominator.
3 + 4 = 3+4 = 7
8 8 8 8
Now going back at the figure? If 7/8 was taken
away? How many slice or part was left?
How do we subtract similar Fractions?
1 whole rice cake is 8/8 -7/8
- = 1/8
8/8 7/8
You could also obtain the difference of two
similar fraction in the same procedure in adding
similar Fractions
8 - 7 = 8-7 = 1

To add or subtract dissimilar fractions,
find equivalent fractions, then a
d
d or
subtract as similar fractions.
Step 1. Find the LCD. (The LCD of two
fractions is simply the least common multiple
of the denominators.
Note: there are 2 ways to find the LCD
a. Listing method.
6= 6, 12, 18, 24
9= 9, 18, 27
18 is the LCM
b. Prime Factorization
6 9
2 x 3 3 x 3
2 x 3 X 3 = 18
Step 2. Use the LCM as the LCD.

Step 5. Reduces to lowest term. Simplify.

so, you need to think of the greatest common
divisor or number that you can divide both the
numerator and denominator.

6. Applying to New and Other Situations
Read and answer the problem.
Adela spends her free time in reading
novels. Each day she spends ยพ hour. A friend
came in and she has already read by 2/3 hour. To
complete her schedule, how much longer does
she need to read?
What is asked?
Very Good! Give ______ a burger clap!
What are the given facts?
Great! Letโs give _____________ a yes very
good clap!
What operation will be used? Why?
Simply add both the numerator and the
denominator.
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Or write reduced it to lowest term.
Look if the fractions are similar, if not,
change them to dissimilar fractions.
Add/subtract first the numerator before the
whole number.
Borrow 1 from the whole number and
rename it to a fraction similar with the
denominator.
Add/subtract the numerators and write the
same denominator. Simplify your answer.
16. Write the number sentence.
What is the answer?
