Use the arrow buttons to Photo or any supporting media

select the fraction that you


want to draw.
ACTIVITY 1:

•  

1. Try to illustrate and using the fraction bars.

2. Try to illustrate and using the fraction bars.


Guide Questions:

● What do we call the number above the fraction line? How


 

about the number below the fraction line?

● What can you notice about the fraction bars of and ?


What happens to the figures as we increase the number
above the fraction line?

What happens to the figures as we increase the number
below the fraction line?
Fraction
1 It is part of a whole and is written using a numerator and a denominator

Example:
The numerator tells us the
number of parts being
considered.

The denominator tells us the


number of equal parts into
which the whole has been
divided.
2 Proper Fractions
fractions that are less than one
The numerator is less than the denominator.

 
Example:

All these fractions have a numerator less than the denominator.


3 Improper Fraction
fractions that are equal or greater than one
The numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator.
 
Example:

All these fractions have a numerator equal to or greater than


the denominator.
Mixed Number
4 It is a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction.

 
Example:
Example 1: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
and as a mixed number.
Example 1: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
and as a mixed number.

Solution:
a. as an Improper fraction
Count the total number of shaded parts. This will be the
numerator of the fraction.

There are 19 shaded parts.


Example 1: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
and as a mixed number.

Solution:
a. as an Improper fraction
Count the number of parts in one whole and this will be the
denominator.
 
One whole rectangle is divided into
8 equal parts.
 
Example 1: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
 

and as a mixed number.

Solution:
a. as an Improper fraction

Thus, the figure represents .


 
Example 1: How do you write the figure below as an
 

improper fraction and as a mixed number?

Solution:
b. as a Mixed number
Count the number of whole parts
and then affix the remaining fraction.

Thus, the figure represents .


Example 2: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
and change it to a mixed number.
Example 2: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
and change it to a mixed number.

Solution:

Count the total number of shaded parts. This will be the


numerator of the fraction. 

There are 18 shaded parts


in total.
Example 2: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
and change it to a mixed number.

Solution:

Count the number of parts in a whole to determine the


denominator.

One whole circle is divided into 11 equal parts.


 
Example 2: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
 

and change it to a mixed number.

Solution:

There are 18 shaded parts in total.

One whole circle is divided into 11 equal parts.

Thus, the figure represents .

 
Example 2: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
 

and change it to a mixed number.

Solution:
Change to a mixed number.
 
Count the number of whole parts and
then affix the remaining fraction.

Thus, the figure represents .


Example 2: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
 

and change it to a mixed number.

Solution:
Alternative method: Change to a mixed number.
Divide the numerator by the denominator. There is one 11 in
18, thus

The quotient is 1.
The divisor is 11.
The remainder is 7.
Example 3: Write the figure below as an improper fraction
 

and change it to a mixed number.

Solution:
Form the mixed number. The
quotient will be the whole number,
the remainder will be the numerator
and the divisor is the denominator.
