Mental Computation On Reducing Fractions To Lowest Terms: Crisdelyn T. Francisco Grade 5 Adviser Baluno Elementary School

The document discusses reducing fractions to lowest terms through a traveling game. Students take turns challenging each other to reduce fractions on flash cards to lowest terms. The winner moves seats while the loser stays put. The student who travels farthest from their original seat wins. Examples of fraction reductions are provided. The key steps to reducing a fraction to lowest terms - finding the greatest common factor and dividing the terms by the GCF - are explained. Students are given practice problems to write and reduce ratios to lowest terms.

In reducing a ratio to its lowest terms,

think of a common divisor for the given


ratio.

If the ratio has no common divisor


except 1, there is no need to reduce the
ratio to its lowest term. It is in its
simplest form already
