Here are the steps to compare fractions less than one:
1) 4/5
2) 3/4
To compare these fractions:
- Look at the numerators and denominators
- 4/5 is greater than 3/4 because 4/5 of the whole is a larger part than 3/4 of the whole
So the relationship is:
4/5 > 3/4
B. Pair Square
1. Compare the following fractions:
a) 1/3 and 2/4
b) 3/5 and 4/6
To compare:
a) 1/3 < 2/4 because 1/3 of the whole is a smaller part than 2/4 of the whole

The Lesson Guides in Elementary Mathematics were developed by the
Department of Education through the Bureau of Elementary Education in
coordination with the Ateneo de Manila University. These resource materials
have been purposely prepared to help improve the mathematics instruction in
the elementary grades. These provide integration of values and life skills using
different teaching strategies for an interactive teaching/learning process.
Multiple intelligences techniques like games, puzzles, songs, etc. are also
integrated in each lesson; hence, learning Mathematics becomes fun and
enjoyable. Furthermore, Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) activities are
incorporated in the lessons.
The skills are consistent with the Basic Education Curriculum
(BEC)/Philippine Elementary Learning Competencies (PELC). These should be
used by the teachers as a guide in their day-to-day teaching plans.

Identifying Fractions More Than One
I. Learning Objectives
Cognitive: Identify fractions more than one
Psychomotor: Read/Write fractions more than one
Affective: Be considerate to others/Work well with others
II. Learning Content
Skills: Identifying fractions more than one
Reading/Writing fractions more than one
Reference: BEC PELC II A 1.4
Materials: textbooks, cut-outs, activity cards, coloring materials
Value: Concern for others
III. Learning Experiences
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Drill - "Climbing the Ladder"
a. Call on 2 pupils.
b. Let them have a race in climbing the ladder by checking out all fractions less than one.
(note: The ladder should have the same fractions)
c. The first pupil to come up with the most number of correct answers wins the game (At
this point give some safety precautions to pupils like telling them not to push each other.

Since 2
1
and 4
2
have the same size, they are called equivalent fractions. What do we call
fractions showing the same size? Equivalent Fractions
A fraction can be expressed in lowest terms.
2
1
is the lowest term of 4
2
Observe how 4
2
is reduced to lowest term in the example below:
4
2
÷ 2

What is the GCF of the denominators?
37. 31
What is done with the GCF to find the lowest terms of the fraction?
The numerator and denominator are divided by the GCF.
c. Problem Illustration
Look at the pieces of sticks.
How is the 2
nd
piece of stick divided?
Do 3

2. Guided Practice
a. Divide the class into triads. One of the pupils will read the fraction. The second pupil
will give the GCF and the third pupil will give the lowest term of the fraction. Each
correct answer merits one point. The team with the highest no. of points wins.
Ex. 6

To express the lowest terms of a fraction, divide both the numerator and the
denominator by the GCF.
