Subject: Mathematics
Duration: 1hr x 5 days
Strand: Number
Sub – theme: Addition and Subtraction of Fractional Numbers
Focus Question 2: How can I apply addition and subtraction to fractional numbers?
Attainment Target: Number Operation an Application
Use the basic operations, number relationships, patterns, number facts, calculators and
appropriate software to compute and estimate in order to solve real world problems involving
fractions, percentages and decimals.
Key vocabulary / concepts: Fraction, whole, reducing fractions, equivalent fractions.
Skills:
Writing fractions
Drawing
Acquiring techniques for problem solving.
Solving problems.
Communicating ideas effectively in a group
Materials/ Resources: Texts: “The New Integrated Approach Mathematics Workbook 4”,
counters, fraction strips, blank sheets, fraction pieces.
Content:
• A fraction is an equal part of a whole.
• When adding or subtracting fractions with like denominators, the numerators are added
or subtracted and the denominator remains the same.
For e.g.2/13 +5/13 =7/13
4/5 −1/5 =3/5
2. How to add or subtract mixed numbers with like denominators:
• Add or subtract the numerators of the two fractions
• Place that answer over the common denominator.
• Add/subtract the whole number of the two mixed numbers
Example: 5 1/3 + 3 1/3 = 8 2/3 or 5 2/4 – 2 ¼ =3 ¼
Subtracting a mixed number from a whole number
Step 1: Take 1 from the whole number portion.
Step 2: Convert 1 into an equivalent fraction with same denominator to the given fraction.
Step 3: Subtract the given fraction from the equivalent fraction you converted.
Step 4: combine the result from step 1 and step 3 to arrive at the answer.
12 – 4 ½
12- 1
11 2/2 – 4 ½ = 7 ½
Procedures
Day 1
Topic: Adding Fractions with like denominators
Specific Objectives: Students will be able to:
What is a fraction?
Identify proper fractions
Add fractions with the same denominators
Engage
Teacher will begin the lesson by asking; "What is a fraction?, How can we add fractions with
like denominator?" Students will be given a few minutes to think about the questions then
answer. Students will then say what they have learnt about fractions in term one.
Explore
Students will use observe fractions written on the board. They will give the names of fractions
(proper fraction, mixed fraction/number and improper fraction). Students will then use fraction
pieces to form these fractions and explain each.
3. Explain
Teacher will then write a problem on the board. Mary baked a chocolate cake. Jerry ate 1/5 of
the cake and Peter ate 2/5. How much cake did they eat in all? Students will be asked to
identify the clue words in this question that let us know which operation to use.
Teacher will explain to the students that in order to add fractions with like denominators, we
would just keep the denominator and add the numerator, which is the top number.
Teacher will refer back to the question to explain the steps in details. “In this scenario, the cake
has been cut into 5 pieces. If I take 1/5 and add 2/5, I will get 3/5. You do not change the
denominators because the cake was cut into fifths.”
Elaborate
Teacher will discuss another scenario using subtraction with the students. Jane has 5/6 of a
cake. She gives 3/6 to her brother. How much cake does Jane have now? Students will work
this problem using fraction pieces orally.
Teacher will also introduce whole and improper fractions (Mixed Fractions) for students to
solve. Students will model other problems involving addition using fraction pieces and on the
board. Teacher will walk around and check for understanding.
Evaluate: Students will complete exercises 1 and 2 in the Integrated Maths Workbook page 42.

treat subtracting fractions with like denominations. Students will be given a few minutes to think
about the questions then answer. Students will then share with the class. .
Explore
Students will be given a few exercise of subtracting fractions to do. Then teacher will introduce
mixed fractions. Students will then use fraction pieces to form these fractions and explain each.
Explain
Teacher will then write a problem on the board. Miss Brown bought a large pizza and divide it
up into 16 equal slices. She shared the pizza for 10 students and 2 adults. How much pizza
was left after everyone has eaten. Students will be asked to identify the clue words in this
question that help them to solve the problem.

Skills: listening and speaking, formulating questions
Materials: Student journals, Language Arts Workbook, internet, Primary English 4
Content Outline:
Adverbs describe or modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. Adverbs often tell how, when,
where, how often and to what extent something happens. There are three kinds of Adverb:
1. Adverb of manner
2. Adverb of time
3. Adverb of place
Adverb of Place
Adverbs that change or qualify the meaning of a sentence by telling us where things happen are
defined as adverbs of place. Some instructors refer to these words or phrases as spatial adverbs.
No matter what they are called, these adverbs always answer one important question: Where?
Eg. I was standing there when the accident occurred.
In the sentence, above, there tells us where I was standing.
Context Clues
Part of reading comprehension involves using the other words in a sentence or passage to
understand an unknown word. An author often includes hints, or clues, to help the reader expand
vocabulary and grasp the meaning of the passage. Skill in using context clues enables a reader to
comprehend advance texts.
Letter Writing (Friendly letter)
Parts of a friendly letter
17. Text Features
Text features include all the components of a story or article that are not the main body of text.
These include the table of contents, index, glossary, headings, bold words, sidebars, pictures and
captions, and labelled diagrams.
