2. Recall
Before we begin our lesson,let us have a recap (The pupils will raised their
about our past [Link], who can recall of hands)
what we tackled last time?
Okay,let's hear from Learner B.
"Our past lesson is adding and
subtracting similar fractions."
Okay,that's [Link] you Learner B.
How do you know if the set of fractions are
similar?
"Miss ,if the given denominators
Exactly! are the same or similar."
3. Motivation
Now , class I have here some flashcards of
[Link] you need to do is to guest if it is
similar or dissimilar fractions.
Is it clear?
5/9 + 2/3 Yes ,Miss!
5/3 + 2/3
2/3 - 1/5
3/4 - 1/4 Similar Dissimilar
1/2 + 5/7
5/3 + 2/3 5/9 + 2/3
11/5 - 8/5
5/11 - 3/5 3/4-1/4 2/3 - 1/5
3/7 - 1/7
11/5 - 8/5 1/2 + 5/7
3/7 -1/7 5/11 - 3/5
4. Discussion
Class, our topic for today is all about Adding
and Subtracting Dissimilar Fractions.
Do you have any idea what is Disimilar
Fraction?
Okay it's alright.
What is Dissimilar Fraction?
Dissimilar fractions, also known as unlike
fractions, are fractions that have different
denominators. The denominators (the bottom
numbers of the fractions) are not the same,
making the fractions dissimilar.
No,miss.
Can we add or subract dissimilar fractions?
Yes [Link] are not able to add or subtract
dissimilar fractions directly.
So,how can we able to do that?
To add or subtract dissimilar fractions, you need
to follow these general steps:
Adding Dissimilar Fractions:
[Link] a Common Denominator (CD):
-Identify the least common denominator (LCD)
for the fractions. The LCD is the smallest
multiple that both denominators divide into
Learner C: I think no miss
evenly.
[Link] Fractions:
-Rewrite each fraction with the common
denominator.
[Link] Addition:
-Add the numerators together while keeping
the common denominator unchanged.
[Link] (if needed)
Okay now,Let me give you an example.
Subtracting Dissimilar Fractions:
Follow similar steps as addition, but subtract
the numerators instead of adding.
