3. Motivation
Talk about garbage disposal and the practice of segregating biodegradable and non-biodegradable
materials.
Ask: What do you usually do with the empty plastic bottles at home?
What other things can be recycled? Emphasize the importance 3 R’s
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Have them the problem.
* What recyclable items did they collect? In collecting the recyclable materials we need cooperation? Yes or No?
* What does the problem ask for?
* How will you solve the problem?

Notice that 4 and 4 are similar fractions.
When adding similar fractions, add the numerators and write the sum over the common denominator.

6. Summarizing the Lesson
Lead the class to give the following generalization by asking: ``How do we add/ subtract similar fractions?``
To add similar fractions, add the numerators, then write the sum as a fractions using the common
denominator. Reduce the answer to lowest term, if possible.
To subtract similar fractions, subtract the numerators, then write the difference as a fractions using the
common denominator. Reduce the answer to lowest term, if possible.
IV. Assessment/Evaluation
Find the sum or difference. Express your answers in lowest terms if needed.
Write the answer on your answer sheets.
