CONTENT OF THE LESSON

LESSON 1 – INTRODUCTION TO FRACTIONS

ACTIVITY 1

Fractions are numbers that represent a part of the whole.

A fraction is a number that has two parts, a whole number and a fraction.

When an object or a group of objects is divided into equal parts, then each individual part is a fraction.

A fraction is usually written as 1/2 or 5/12 or 7/18 and so on.

It is divided into a numerator and denominator where the denominator represents the total number of equal parts into which the whole is divided.

The numerator is the number of equal parts that are taken out.

For e.g. in the fraction 3/4, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator.

ACTIVITY 2 – Real LIFE EXAMPLE OF A FRACTION 

Sharing of an objects within two or more parts.

 

2/3

ACTIVITY 3 – TYPES OF FRACTIONS 

There are three (3) of fractions,

1. Proper Fraction

2. Improper Fraction

3. Mixed Fraction

In a fraction there are two simple possibilities:

• The numerator is smaller than the denominator

• The numerator is bigger than the denominator

PROPER FRACTION 

In proper fraction, the numerator is smaller than the denominator.

For example – 3/5, 7/9, etc.

 

IMPROPER FRACTION 

Improper fraction is a fraction that has the numerator is larger than the denominator.

For example – 5/3, 9/7, etc.

MIXED FRACTION

A mixed number is made up of a whole number and a fraction.

A mixed fraction is a fraction with a whole number and a fraction.

For example – 1 2/3, 5 6/11, etc.

ACTIVITY 4 – IMPROPER FRACTION TO MIXED FRACTIONS 

 

5/3 = 1 2/3

11/5 = 2 1/5

9/2 = 4 1/2

5/3

= (3 + 2)/3

= 1 + 2/3

= 1 2/3

11/5

= (5 + 5 + 1)/5

= 1 + 1 + 1/5

= 2 + 1/5

= 2 1/5

9/2

= (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1/2)

= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1/2

= 4 + 1/2

= 4 1/2

 

ACTIVITY 5 – MIXED FRACTION TO IMPROPER FRACTIONS  

1 2/3

= (1 x 3 + 2)/3

= (3 + 2)/3

= 5/3

2 1/5

= (2 x 5 + 1)/5

= (10 + 1)/5

= 11/5

 

4 1/2

= (4 x 2 + 1)/2

= (8 + 1)/2

= 9/2

LESSON EVALUATION 

Convert to mixed fractions –

1. 46/3

2. 49/5

3. 63/8

Convert to Improper fractions –

4. 15 1/3

5. 12 1/4

6. 16 2/5

LESSON 2 – DECIMAL FRACTIONS 

ACTIVITY 1 – INTRODUCTION 

A decimal fraction is a number that has two parts, a whole number and a fraction.

The two parts are separated by a point known as the decimal point, for example, 1.25.

The digits before the point represent whole numbers. The digits after the point represent fractions.

Both parts make up a decimal fraction.

ACTIVITY 2 – DECIMAL FRACTIONS TO FRACTIONS 

We can convert a decimal Fraction to its fraction.

0.1 = 1/10    0.01 = 1/100   0.001/1000

0.2 = 1/10    0.02 = 2/100   0.002/1000

0.3 = 3/10    0.03 = 3/100   0.003/1000

0.4 = 4/10    0.04 = 4/100   0.004/1000, etc.

 

Convert 0.37 to fraction.

0.37

= 0.3 + 0.07

= 3/10 + 7/100

= (30 + 7)/100

= 37/100

Convert 3.25 to fraction.

3.25

= 3 + 0.2 + 0.05

= 3 + 2/10 + 5/100

= 3 + (20 + 5)/100

= 3 + 25/100

= 3 25/(25 + 25 + 25 + 25)

= 3 25¹/(25¹ + 25¹ + 25¹ + 25¹)

= 3 1/4

ACTIVITY 3

Convert 37/100 to decimal fraction.

37/100 can be written as (30 + 7)/100

= 30/100 + 7/100

= 3/10 + 7/100

= 0.3 + 0.07

0.30

+ 0.07

_______

0.37

Therefore,

37/100 = 0.37

 

Covert 3 1/4 to decimal fraction.

3 1/4

= 3 + (1 x 25)/(4 x 25)

= 3 + 25/100 = 3 + 0.25 = 3.25

OR

= 3 + (20 + 5)/100

= 3 + 20/100 + 5/100

= 3 + 2/10 + 5/100

= 3 + 0.2 + 0.05

= 3.25

LESSON EVALUATION

Covert to fractions.

1. 0.35

2. 1.58

3. 7.32

 

Covert to decimal fractions.

1. 35/100

2. 1 27/50

3. 1 13/20

LESSON 3 – PERCENTAGES 

ACTIVITY 1 

A percentage is a number expressed as a fraction of 100.

That’s, fractions with 100 as denominators are known as Percentages.

% is a symbol for percentage.

For example,

15% = 15/100 = 0.15

23% = 23/100 = 0.23

65% = 65/100 = 0.65

ACTIVITY 2 – RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FRACTIONS, DECIMALS AND PERCENTAGES 

1. Convert 65% to fraction and decimal.

To fraction,

65%

= 65/100

= (5¹ x 13)/(5¹ x 20)

= (1 x 13)/(1 x 20)

= 13/20

To decimal fraction,

65/100

= (60 + 5)/100

= 60/100 + 5/100

= 0.60 + 0.05

= 0.65

2. Convert 13/20 to percentage and decimal.

To percentage,

13/20

= (13 x 5)/(20 x 5) Hint – 5 = 100/20

= 65/100

To decimal fraction,

65/100

= (60 + 5)/100

= 60/100 + 5/100

= 0.60 + 0.05

= 0.65

3. Convert 0.65 to fractions and decimal.

0.65

= 6/10 + 5/100

= 60/100 + 5/100

= (60 + 5)/100

= 65/100

0.65

= 65/100 (65/100 means 65 out of 100).

Therefore,

0.65 = 65%
