DEMONSTRATION TEACHING LESSON PLAN IN MATHEMATICS 6

I. OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, the grade six pupils should be able to;
1. add dissimilar fractions in simple and mixed form without regrouping
2. enumerate the steps in adding dissimilar fractions in simple and mixed form without regrouping
3. share/cooperate with group members during activities regarding addition of dissimilar
fractions in simple and mixed form without regrouping.

II. SUBJECT MATTER:

Topic: Addition of dissimilar fractions in simple and mixed form without regrouping.
Reference/s: K12 CG in Math.6, PP 175-177 M6NS-Ia-86
Lesson Guide in Elementary Mathematics 6, pp.212-215
The New Mathematics Adventure 6 by Francisco B. Tabifranca Jr.
Materials: Egg ,PPT Presentations, Manila Papers, Strips of paper, Worksheet, charts
Value: Being cooperative, patience in solving problems

III. PROCEDURE:

A. Preparation/Preliminary Activities
1. Greetings
2. Prayer
3. Checking of Attendance
Teacher’s Activities Pupil’s Activities
B. Presentation/Lesson proper

1. Drill
(Egg Question Challenge):
I have here an egg. While the music is
playing, you will pass this egg around. If the music
stops, the person who is holding this egg will have to
read a question and answer it.

Are you ready Grade VI? Yes we are!

(Teacher will play the music) (Pupils will pass the egg around)

2. Motivation
What can you see in the picture class? A man jogging in the park.

Very Good!
What else do you see? (pupils’ answers varies)

So, did you notice this man jogging? Yes we did!

This is Rodrigo. Every day he jogs at this park. One

day, a problem came up to his mind. Let us help him
to solve his problem.

3. Presentation
Rodrigo jogs regularly. He jogged 1/2 km then
he saw a friend. He jogged another 1 1/3 km then he
stopped for a while. How many kilometers have he
jogged?

Have you experienced jogging class? Yes sir!

What’s the longest distance you have jogged? (pupils answer differently)

So based on the problem, How many km did Rodrigo 1/2 km

travel until he saw his friend?

After that, how many km did he jogged? 1 1/3 km

I want you to notice this two fractions here, Yes/No Sir!

1/2 km and 1 1/3 km. Do you know what kind of
fractions are these?

Okay. We called this two fractions, Dissimilar

Fractions.

(the teacher will show the meaning of Dissimilar Dissimilar Fractions – are two or more fractions
Fraction) with different denominators. Adding and
subtracting dissimilar fractions are different
from adding and subtracting similar fractions.
Let’s have a group Activity:
Group Activity (5 minutes)
Arrange the strips of papers in correct order to
enumerate the steps in adding dissimilar fractions.

Use the Least Common Multiple of two denominators or

(LCD – Least Common Denominator) to write the
equivalent fractions. Each Group will read their work

List and Identify the Least Common Multiple of the

denominator of the two fractions.

When the two denominators are already similar, Add the

fractions like adding similar fractions and Reduce your
answer to lowest term.
(Present the correct order of the steps in adding
dissimilar fractions.)
List and Identify the Least Common Multiple of the
1.
denominators of the two fractions.

Use the Least Common Multiple of two denominators or

2. (LCD – Least Common Denominator) to write the
equivalent fractions.

When the two denominators are already similar, Add the

3.
fractions like adding similar fractions and Reduce your
answer to lowest term.

Okay, so now that you know the steps in adding

dissimilar fractions. Let’s find now the answer to the
problem of Rodrigo.

1. List and Identify the Least Common Multiple of

the denominators of the two fractions.

1
-- 2, 4 ,6 ,8 ,10, 12, 14 ,16 ,18, 20
2
1
1 -- 3, 6 ,9 ,12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30
3
2. Use the Least Common Multiple of two
denominators or (LCD – Least Common
Denominator) to write the equivalent fractions.
1 1
=
2 6
1 2
1 = 1
3 6
3. When the two denominators are already similar,
Add the fractions like adding similar fractions and
reduce your answer to lowest term.

3 2 5
𝑘𝑚 + 1 km = 1 km
6 6 6
5
Rodrigo Jogged 1 km.
So how many kilometers did Rodrigo Jogged? 6
Another Problem( think-Pair-Share):
Work with pair. Answer the Worksheet given by the
teacher.

Josie needs 3 ¼ cups of flour for the plain cake

and 2 1/3 cups for the pineapple sponge cake. How
many cups of flour does she need in all?

1. List and Identify the Least Common Multiple of the

denominator of the two fractions.
(One pair will solve the problem on the board.)

2. Use the Least Common Multiple of two

denominators or (LCD – Least Common Denominator)
to write the equivalent fractions.

3. When the two denominators are already similar, add the

fractions like adding similar fractions and reduce your answer to
lowest term.

4. Fixing Skills

Add the following Dissimilar Fractions. Reduce your

answer to lowest term if possible: (Pupils will solve on the board))
1) 2/4 + 3/10 =
2) 7/12 + ¼ =
3) 1/5 + 3/10 =
(Ask one pupil to answer one of each problem)

5. Generalization
How do we add dissimilar fractions? We follow the steps in adding Dissimilar
Fractions:
1. List and Identify the Least Common Multiple of the
denominator of the two fractions.

2. Use the Least Common Multiple of two

denominators or (LCD – Least Common
Denominator) to write the equivalent fractions.

3. When the two denominators are already similar, Add the

fractions like adding similar fractions and Reduce your answer
to lowest term.
(Pupils may answer on their own words or
understanding)
6. Application
Direction: Solve the word problem. Reduce your
answer to lowest term:

Mother went to market to buy 3 1/6 kilos of

(One pupil will solve for the answer on the
ground beef and 12 1/5 kilos of ground pork. How
board)
many kilos of ground meat did mother buy in all?
IV. EVALUATION:
Find the sum. Solve on a sheet of pad paper.
1) 1/5 + 1/9 =
2) ½ + 5/8 =
3) 3 3/8 + 2 ¼ =
4) 6 1/3 + 3 1/12 =
5) 4 1/6 + 2 ¼ + 1/7 =

V. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR ENRICHMENT OR REMEDIATION:

Do addition of fractions along the path according to the arrows until you get to the end. You should get
to the same final answer.

2/5 + 1/4

+ +
1/2 5/12

+ 1/6
