ACTIVITY #1
Similar or Dissimilar ?
Similar fractions are fractions that have same or common denominator. They
are often called like fractions. If they are NOT same or common, then they are
dissimilar fractions.

Let’s try to identify the following pairs of fractions as similar or dissimilar.

ACTIVITY #2
Addition and Subtraction of Similar
Fractions
In addition or subtraction of similar fractions, we only add or subtract their
numerator and rewrite the same or common denominator.

ACTIVITY #3
Least Common Multiple (LCM)
Least common multiple is the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by
every member of a set of numbers. This is use to make dissimilar fractions be
similar by changing them into equivalent fractions having LCM as their common
denominator.

Example: Find the least common multiple of 12 and 18.


by listing:
multiples of 12: 12 , 24 , 36 , 48 , 60 , 72 , 84 , 96
multiples of 18: 18 , 36 , 54 , 72 , 90 , 108 , 126
since we have two common multiples on the list, 36 & 72,
and the least common multiple between them is 36
by factoring:
factors of 12: 2 × 2 × 3 least common multiple can get
factors of 18: 2 × × 3 × 3 by listing down all common &
LCM: 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 36 uncommon factors and multiply
them.
