CHAPTER 3
NUMBER THEORY AND FRACTIONS
OVERVIEW
This chapter involves lessons on number theory like the concepts of prime
and composite numbers, factors, common factors, and Greatest Common Factor
(GCF), and multiples, common multiples, and Least Common Multiples (LCM). These
concepts are important in the discussion about fractions. In this chapter, the learners
learn to find the factors of a number using listing method and is extended to finding
common factors and Greatest Common Factors (GCF) which are necessary in
expressing fractions to their lowest terms. They also learn to express numbers as
products of their prime factors using factor tree and continuous division.
The concepts of multiples, common multiples, and Least Common Multiples
(LCM), are introduced here as they relate these concepts to finding the Least
Common Denominator (LCD). This is an important skill needed in adding and
subtracting dissimilar fractions.
The skill on expressing fractions to lowest terms is developed using pictorial
models, then the use of computation using the GCF. Likewise, the skill on changing
dissimilar fractions to similar fractions is developed using pictorial models, then
extended to computation using the Least Common Denominator (LCD).
Lessons on addition and subtraction of fractions start with visualizing addition
and subtraction of similar fractions. Pictorial models are used to help learners visualize
addition and subtraction of fractions. Visualizing subtraction of fractions from whole
numbers is introduced using pictorial models where learners see how a whole number
is expressed as a fraction. The skill in adding and subtracting similar fractions is
developed using algorithm. Visualizing addition and subtraction of dissimilar fractions is
developed using pictorial models. This is to help learners in adding and subtracting
dissimilar fractions which is developed using algorithm with the application of finding the
Least Common Denominator (LCD).
Problem-solving lessons involving routine and nonroutine problems involving
addition and subtraction of fractions are included as application. The 4-step plan helps the
learners solve routine problems. Using appropriate strategies are introduced in solving
nonroutine problems. This chapter also provides lessons on creating routine and nonroutine
problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions..
Content Standards: The learner demonstrates understanding of factors and
multiples, addition and subtraction of fractions, and
improper fractions and mixed numbers.
Performance Standard: The learner is able to apply the knowledge of factors
and multiples, addition and subtraction of fractions in
mathematical problems and real-life situations, and
recognize and represent improper fractions and mixed
numbers in various forms and contexts.

5. Summarizing the Lesson


Summarize the lesson by asking:
What is prime factorization?
What are common factors?
What is Greatest Common Factor or GCF of two numbers?
How do we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two given numbers?

Prime factorization is the process of writing a number as a product of its


prime factors.
Common factors are factors common to two numbers.
Greatest Common Factor or GCF is the biggest factor common to two
numbers.
We find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 2 numbers by listing
method, prime factorization, and continuous division.

Continuous Division is done following the steps below:


Write the numbers horizontally and find a prime number that will divide
the numbers, if possible.
Divide by that prime number and write the quotients below the dividends.
Copy any numbers not divided below them.
Continue the process until no two numbers have a common prime divisor.
Multiply all the prime divisors common to the given numbers to get the GCF.

Marie shared 74 slice of a cake to her friend. Her sister shared I slice of
a cake with her friends. How many slices of cake did they share
altogether? Who shared more cake? By how much?
Ask: Who among you love to eat cake? How do you feel eating cakes?
What occasions do you experience eating cakes?
Do you share what you have, like cakes to others? Why?
What do you feel when others become happy because you've
shared something to them? Instill the value of sharing.
Emphasize that not only material things can be shared.
Going back to the problem, ask how much cake Marie shared with
her friends. How about her sister? What does the problem ask you
to find?How will you solve for the answers to the problem?
2. Performing the Activities

3. Processing Activities
After all the groups have presented their answers, ask: "How did you
find the activity? How were you able to add and subtract dissimilar
fractions? What did you do?"

158

Expected answers:
We drew pictures for the problem.
We changed the dissimilar fractions to similar fractions by first
finding the LCM or LCD.
Then, we added the numerators of the fractions and wrote the
sum as a fraction using the common denominator for question
1.
And for question 2, we subtracted the smaller fraction from the bigger
fraction by subtracting the numerators and wrote the difference as a
fraction using the common denominator.
Discuss with the pupils the ways on how they were able to add and subtract
dissimilar fractions. Lead the pupils to see that when adding/subtracting dissimilar
fractions, they must first change them to similar fractions by looking for the LCM
first which is called the Least Common Denominator.

CHAPTER 4
DECIMALS
OVERVIEW
This chapter introduces the concepts of decimals. It starts with visualizing
decimal number and its relationship to fractions. This skill is developed using models
like blocks, grids, number lines, and money.
Renaming decimal numbers to fractions whose denominators are factors of
10 and 100 is taught through the use of diagrams
Place value concepts in decimals are introduced using a place-value chart.
The learners are guided in giving the place value and value of a digit in a decimal up
to hundredths. This is necessary when the learners learn to read and write decimal
numbers, and in rounding decimals.
The learners learn to read and write decimals using their knowledge of place
value and reading decimal fractions and writing them as decimals.
The concept of rounding decimals to the nearest whole number and tenths is
developed using a number line. The learners learn that when rounding decimals, the
same rules are applied when rounding whole numbers. The skills on comparing and
ordering decimals are developed using the place-value chart.

Content Standard: The learner demonstrates understanding of decimals.


Performance Standard: The learner is able to apply knowledge of
decimals in mathematical problems and real-life
situations.

B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Present the chart to the class.

Let the pupils study the place-value chart, then answer the
following questions:
1. What is the first place value to the right of the decimal point?
What is its value?
187

2. What is the next place value to the right of the tenths


place? What is its value?
3. What is the digit in the ones place? What is its value?
Let the pupils understand that the first place to the right of the decimal
point is the tenths place and has a value of ii), meaning ten times lesser
than the value of the ones place. The next place to the right of the tenths
place is the hundredths place with a value of loo
Let the pupils focus on the value chart presented. Let them understand
that 7 is under the tenths column, the place with the value of 0.1, meaning 7
has a value of ,:, or 0.7. The next digit is 5 which is under hundredths
column, the place with the value of 0.01, meaning 5 has a value of 0.05.
2. Performing the Activities
