B. ANALYSIS
Based on our activity, how did you get By identifying and analyzing the given
the answer? numbers if the numerator and
denominator have a common factor it is
not in standard form and if the numerator
and denominator doesn't have common
factor it is standard form.
Very good class!, so I think you already
have knowledge about standard form of a
rational numbers.
To deeply understand the standard form
of a rational number let's proceed to our
lesson proper to understand more about it.
C. ABSTRACTION
Let's define first what is standard form of
a rational numbers.
STANDARD FORM OF A
RATIONAL NUMBERS
Usually, a rational number a/b is said to
be in standard form if it has no common
factors other than 1 between the
numerator and denominator alongside the
denominator b should be positive.
HOW TO CONVERT A RATIONAL
NUMBER INTO STANDARD FORM?
Go through the below-listed guidelines to
express a Rational Number into Standard
Form. The Detailed Procedure is
explained for better understanding and
they are along the lines.
Step 1: Have a look at the given rational
number.
Step 2: Firstly, find whether the
denominator is positive or not. If it is not
positive multiply or divides numerator
and denominator with -1 so that the
denominator no longer remains negative.
Step 3: Determine the GCD of the
absolute values of both numerator and
Denominator.
Step 4: Divide the numerator and
denominator with the GCD obtained in
the earlier step. Thereafter, the rational
number obtained is the standard form of
the given rational number.
Determine whether the following
Rational Numbers are in Standard Form
or Not?
(1.) -8/23
-8/23 is said to be in Standard Form since
both the numerator and denominator
doesn’t have any common factors other
than 1. In fact, the denominator is also
positive. Thus, the given rational number -
8/23 is said to be in its Standard Form.
-13/-39 is not in standard form since it has
(2.) -13/-39 common factor 13 along with 1.
Moreover, the denominator is not positive.
Thus we can say the given rational
number is not in standard form.
Okay class you already know how to
determine rational numbers if it is
standard form or not.
Let's take some examples to understand
more.
1. Express the Rational Number 18/45 in
Standard Form?
Solution:
Given Rational Number 18/45
Check for the denominator in the given
rational number. Since it is positive you
need not do anything.
Later find the GCD of the absolute values
of numerator 18, denominator 45
GCD(18, 45) = 9
Thus, to convert the given rational
number 18/45 to standard form simply
divide both the numerator and
denominator by 9
18/45 = (18÷9)/(45÷9)
= 2/5
Therefore, 18/45 expressed in standard
form is 2/5.
2. Find the Standard Form of 12/-18?
Solution:
Given Rational Number is 12/-18
Check for the denominator in the given
Rational Number
Since the denominator, -18 has a negative
sign multiply both numerator and
denominator with -1 to make it positive.
12/-18 = 12*(-1)/-18*(-1)
= -12/18
Find the GCD of absolute values of both
numerator and denominator
GCD(12, 18) = 6
To convert a given rational number to its
standard form multiply and divide both
numerator and denominator by 6.
-12/18 = ((-12)÷6)/(18÷6)
= -2/3
Thus, the standard form of Rational
Number 12/-18 is -2/3
Class try this problem.
Reduce 3/15 to Standard Form?
What is the GCD of 3 and 15? Ma'am the GCD of 3 and 15 is 3
Correct! so try to solve it to get the 3/15 = (3÷3)/(15÷3)
standard form.
= 1/5
Therefore, 3/15 Reduced to Standard
Form is 1/5.
Very good! The standard form of 3/15 is
1/5.
Very Good class! I think you already
know how to convert rational number to
standard form and you already understand
our lesson. So lets proceed to our activity.
D. APPLICATION
Now that you know already know how to
convert rational number to standard form
let's take an group activity to understand
more the standard form.
Group yourself in 5 group. Let's start to
count.
(Student will count)
Now, I will paste in the board the activity
that you need to answer with the help of
your group mates to get the answer.
Each group I will give a answer sheet to
write the answer then after you will paste
it in the board and one of your group
member will explain it.
DIRECTION: Solve each problem and
write the matching letter on the blank
above the answer.

E. GENERALIZATION
What have you learned from our (Students will respond)
discussion this morning?
Should we say that you really understand
the standard form of rational number?
Yes Ma'am!
F. VALUING
A while ago, I give you an activity which
is related to our topic and the rational
numbers you've encountered in the
answer sheets are well connected to our
present discussion about standard form of
a rational numbers. You may notice in
determining and identifying standard
form of a rational numbers they are
things we need to considered to identify if
it is standard form or not. . In identifying
if the rational numbers are standard or not
we need first to know and understand the
things needed or steps. Its like in
choosing things we need to first know
there deferences and understand it so that
we can choose what is the best. Also to
get the best answer we need to follow the
steps before we decide.
Can you give me some situation that
happened in your life that you need to
follow the steps before you decide?
(Students will give insights)
