The steps in solving word problems: What is asked? What are given? What operation will be used? What is the number sentence? Complete answer •How important is the water? What are the things you’ve done in order to save water? Let the pupils share their experiences. THE TABLE SHOWS THE NUMBER OF LITERS OF DAILY CONSUMED OF WATER BY ASUNCION AND BRILLIANTE FAMILIES.
Asuncion family 8 1/8 L
Brilliante family 6 ¾ L •Based on the table presented, how will you create problems involving addition/subtraction of fractions? GROUP ACTIVITY
• Each group will create two problems
which involve addition/subtraction based on the table presented above. GUIDE QUESTIONS:
• How many liters of water did Asuncion family consume?
• How many liters of water did Brilliante family consume? • Whose family consumed more water? • What is the problem all about? • How many liters of water did the two families consume? •How did you find the activity? How did you create problems involving addition/subtraction of fractions? The table shows the time spent walking from their residence to the barangay hall. Magda 2 1/8 hours
Brenda 1 6/7 hours
• From their residence to the barangay hall, Magda spends 2 1/8 hours walking while Brenda needs 1 6/7 hours. Altogether, how many hours do the two walk? • From their residence to the barangay hall, Magda spends 2 1/8 hours walking while Brenda needs 1 6/7 hours. How much longer does Brenda need to be the same as Magda? HOW DO YOU CREATE PROBLEMS INVOLVING ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF FRACTIONS?
• To create problems involving addition/subtraction of fractions:
• Familiarize yourself with the concept. • Think of a problem you want to create. • a. Consider a character, cite the situation/ setting, data presented, word problems to be created, and the key question. • b. Ensure that the word problems is clearly stated and practiced. • Read some sample problems and study these solutions CREATE A PROBLEM BASED ON THIS TABLE.
