Lesson 21: Multiplying Mentally Proper Fractions with the Denominators Up to 10.

Explore and Discover!

Nelia has ½ piece of a cartolina. She shares 1/3 of it to Joe who needs it very badly for his Science
project. What part of the cartolina did Nelia Share?

How will you solve for the product of the fractions mentally?
Here’s how to do it.

Do these steps in your mind.

11 1x1 =1
2x3 =6 Step 1: Multiply the numerators.
1x1 = 1

Step 2: Multiply the denominators.

2x3 = 6

Step 3: Express the answer in lowest terms if needed.

I. Objective: Multiplies mentally proper fractions with denominators up to 10.

Code M5NS-Ig-91 p.56,
Value Focus: Sharing, Accuracy in computation

II. Subject Matter: Multiplying Mentally Proper Fractions with Denominators up to 10.
Prerequisite Concepts and Skills
 Mastery of basic multiplication facts
 Multiples of a number
Materials: flash cards/window cards, charts, activity sheets, powerpoint, Show Me board
References: K to 12 Grade 5 Curriculum Guide,
Ateneo Lesson Guide Grade 5 pp.196-200
III. Instructional Procedure:
A. Preliminary Activities:
1. Drill
Have a drill on basic multiplication facts using flash cards/window cards. This can be done
through a game or relay.
2. Review
Ask: What do you call the number on top of a fraction?
How about the number at the bottom of it?

(Numeracy and Literacy)

(Across the Curriculum - EPP)
3. Motivation
Who among you likes to eat bibingka? What will you do to the bibingka before eating
it?
4. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
Our lesson for today has something to do with the review we have done. This time
you will learn multiplying mentally proper fraction with denominator up to 10. Are you ready to
know more about it?

Let’s revisit our house rules so that we ensure learning in our lesson for today.
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
Present this situation to the class.
Linda received ½ slice of a bibingka from her friend. She gave ⅓ of this to her
seatmate who had no money to buy food for the recess. What part of the whole bibingka did
Linda share to her seatmate?

Ask: What part of the bibingka Linda received from her friend?
How about the part that she shared with her seatmate?
If you were Linda would you do the same? Why?
What are given in the problem?
What is the number sentence?
How will we solve the problem mentally?
2. Performing the Activity
Tell pupils to think of methods on how to solve the problem mentally.
Expected answer
Solution: By mental computation
½ × ⅓ - Multiply numerator to numerator and multiply denominator to denominator.
½ × ⅓ = 1/6
3. Reinforcing the Concept and Skills
(Modelling- Explicit Instruction)

Say: We process steps. We do it according to sequence.

Just like math and cooking
The given numbers are the ingredients in cooking
The manner we solve it is like the manner we cook it. We do steps mentally.
.
Do these steps in your mind. (using the flow chart)
1x1 =1
2x3 =6 Step 1: Multiply the numerators.
1x1 = 1

Step 2: Multiply the denominators.

2x3 = 6

Step 3: Express the answer in lowest terms if needed.

Practice Exercises:
A. Give the product of the following fractions mentally.
1. 2/5 × ½ = _______
2. ¼ × 1/9 = _______
3. 3/7 × ½ = _______
4. 1/8 × 3/5 = _______
B. Have the pupils perform the exercises (using flow chart)
5. Summarizing the Lesson
Lead the pupils to give the generalization by asking: How do you multiply the proper
fractions with the denominators up to 10?
To multiply proper fractions mentally with the denominator up to 10, multiply both
numerators and both denominators to get the product of the proper fraction.

6. Applying to New and Other Situations

 A. Fraction Bingo Game
1. 2/3 × 4/5 = _____
2. ½ × 2/3 = _____
3. ¾ × 2/3 = _____
4. 5/7 × 7/8=_____
5. 7/10 × 1/5 = _____
B. Solve for N mentally.
1. 5/6 × 7/8 = N 2. 3/8 × 5/6 = N 3. 3/10 × ½ = N
4. 2/3 × ½ = N 5. 4/5 × ⅓ = N
