IV. Procedures
A. Preliminary Activities (10 minutes)
1. Greetings and Prayer
2. Checking of Attendance
3. Review: Quick recap of adding similar fractions (same denominators)

Use visuals and fraction strips to model the problem.
2. Discussion (10 minutes)
Guide learners in identifying key elements: similar denominators,
numerators, operation.
Solve together:
25+15=3552+51=53
Emphasize real-life relevance and cultural context (e.g., community
events, shared meals).
3. Guided Practice (10 minutes)
Group learners into diverse teams (mixed gender, ability, and
background).
Provide each group with a word problem reflecting different cultural
practices (e.g., food sharing, festivals).
Encourage respectful collaboration and equal participation.
4. Independent Practice (5 minutes)
Learners solve 2-3 word problems individually in their notebooks.
C. Integration of Inclusive Pedagogies
Use names and scenarios from various cultural backgrounds.
Ensure all learners, regardless of gender or ability, are given roles in
group work.
Encourage use of mother tongue or local language for better
understanding, if needed.
D. Assessment (10 minutes)
Formative: Observe group participation and problem-solving
strategies.
Summative: Short quiz with 3-word problems involving addition of
similar fractions.
V. Assignment
Create your own word problem involving addition of similar fractions
