PART 1

MODULE OVERVIEW

1. The aim of this module is to reinforce pupils’ understanding of the concept

of fractions.

2. It serves as a guide for teachers in helping pupils to master the basic

computation skills (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division)

involving integers and fractions.

3. This module consists of two parts, and each part consists of learning

objectives which can be taught separately. Teachers may use any parts of the

module as and when it is required.

PART A:

ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION

OF FRACTIONS

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of Part A, pupils will be able to:

1. perform computations involving combination of two or more operations

on integers and fractions;

2. pose and solve problems involving integers and fractions;

3. add or subtract two algebraic fractions with the same denominators;

4. add or subtract two algebraic fractions with one denominator as a

multiple of the other denominator; and

5. add or subtract two algebraic fractions with denominators:

(i) not having any common factor;

(ii) having a common factor.

TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES

Pupils have difficulties in adding and subtracting fractions with different

denominators.

Strategy:

Teachers should emphasise that pupils have to find the equivalent form of

the fractions with common denominators by finding the lowest common

multiple (LCM) of the denominators.

Rules for Adding or Subtracting Fractions

1. When the denominators are the same, add or subtract only the numerators and

keep the denominator the same in the answer.

2. When the denominators are different, find the equivalent fractions that have the

same denominator.

Note: Emphasise that mixed numbers and whole numbers must be converted to improper

fractions before adding or subtracting fractions.

To make the denominators the same, multiply both the numerator and the denominator of

the second fraction by 4:

Now, the question can be visualized like this:

The denominators are not the same.

See how the slices are different in

sizes? Before we can add the

PART B:

MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION

OF FRACTIONS

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of Part B, pupils will be able to:

1. multiply:

(i) a whole number by a fraction or mixed number;

TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES

Pupils face problems in multiplication and division of fractions.

Strategy:

Teacher should emphasise on how to divide fractions correctly. Teacher should

also highlight the changes in the positive (+) and negative (–) signs as follows:

Multiplication Division

(+) (+) = + (+) (+) = +

(+) (–) = – (+) (–) = –

(–) (+) = – (–) (+) = –

(–) (–) = + (–) (–) = +

1.0 Multiplication of Fractions

Recall that multiplication is just repeated addition.

Consider the following:

32

First, let’s assume this box as 1 whole unit.

Therefore, the above multiplication 32 can be represented visually as follows:

This means that 3 units are being repeated twice, or mathematically can be written as:

6

33 32

Now, let’s calculate 2 x 2. This multiplication can be represented visually as:

This means that 2 units are being repeated twice, or mathematically can be written as:

Now, let’s calculate 2 x 1. This multiplication can be represented visually as:

This means that 1 unit is being repeated twice, or mathematically can be written as:

It looks simple when we multiply a whole number by a whole number. What if we

have a multiplication of a fraction by a whole number? Can we represent it visually?

Let’s consider .2

The above division can also be interpreted as ‘how many 3’s can fit into 6’. The answer is

‘2 groups of 3 units can fit into 6 units’.

change the second number to its reciprocal.

we have to change the second fraction to its reciprocal and then multiply the
