Mathematics
Quarter 3 – Module 4:
Visualizing and Generating
Equivalent Fractions
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Grade 3 Mathematics Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)
Module on Visualizing and Generating Equivalent Fractions!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or
facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints
in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to
help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that will
help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage
and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Grade 3 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on
Visualizing and Generating Equivalent Fractions!

ii
This module is made with you in mind. Please be diligent in answering every bit
of question given to make this module interactive. Take note that this contains
instructions on how to use the module and the structure as well as the procedure
of working through the module are explained here. This also gives an overview
of the content of the module. It would be nice if you will answer the activities
and exercises first before looking up to the answer key. Should you have
questions regarding the exercises, please approach your facilitator for better
understanding.
This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

What I Need to Know

This will give you an idea of the
skills or competencies you are
expected to learn in the module.

What I Know
This part includes an activity that
aims to check what you already
know about the lesson to take. If
you get all the answers correct
(100%), you may decide to skip this
module.

What’s In This is a brief drill or review to help

you link the current lesson with the
previous one.

What’s New
In this portion, the new lesson will
be introduced to you in various
ways such as a story, a song, a
poem, a problem opener, an activity
or a situation.

What is It This section provides a brief

discussion of the lesson. This aims

iii
 to help you discover and understand
new concepts and skills.

What’s More This comprises activities for

independent practice to solidify your
understanding and skills of the
topic. You may check the answers
to the exercises using the Answer
Key at the end of the module.

What I Have Learned This includes questions or blank

sentence/paragraph to be filled in to
process what you learned from the
lesson.
What I Can Do This section provides an activity
which will help you transfer your
new knowledge or skill into real life
situations or concerns.
Assessment This is a task which aims to evaluate
your level of mastery in achieving
the learning competency.
Additional Activities In this portion, another activity will
be given to you to enrich your
knowledge or skill of the lesson
learned.
Answer Key This contains answers to all
activities in the module.

At the end of this module you will also find:

The following are some reminders in using this module:
1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of
the module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other
activities included in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your
answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with
it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not
hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you
are not alone.
We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning
and gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it.

What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind to help you read
and write fractions that are equal to one and greater than one. The scope of this
module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language
used recognizes your diverse vocabulary backgrounds. The lessons are arranged
to follow the standard sequence of the course but the order in which you read
them can be changed to correspond with the Mathematics Grade 3 learning
materials you are using.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
Visualize and generate equivalent fractions. (M3NS-IIIe-72.7)

Enjoy your journey. Good luck!

 What I Know

Choose the letter of the best answer. Write the chosen letter on a separate sheet
of paper.

1.Which illustration shows that 1/8 of a whole is shaded?

A. B.

C. D.

 Visualizes and Generates
Lesson
Equivalent Fractions
The children like you are fond of reading different stories and poems that
could give life lessons. In this module, you will learn how to write sentences
describing one’s drawing from the stories/ poems listened to.

What’s In

We can form different figures from folding a papers.

1. Fold the paper in half. Color one-half of it. How many halves are formed?
________
What fraction represents the colored part? ________

Fold the paper again. Count the total number of parts. How many parts are
colored red now? _________
What fraction represents the colored parts? __________

What fraction was shown when the paper was folded the first time?
What fraction was shown when the paper was folded the second time? 2/4
What do you notice with the colored parts in both fractions?

viii
 What’s New

Fractions like ½ and 2/4 show the same fractional part. They are fractions
with the same value. Fractions that have the same value are called
EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS.

What is It

Equivalent Fractions are fractions whose values are equal. They show the
same fractional part.
To obtain the fraction equivalent to a given fraction, multiply or divide
both the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction by the same
nonzero number.
Example:
1/2 x 2/2 = 2/4
2/4 ÷ 2/2 = 1/2
To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by their
GCF.
Example:
2/4 ÷ 2/2 = 1/2

 What I Have Learned

When both the numerator and denominator of a fraction are multiplied by

the same number, we get a fraction equivalent to the given fraction.

When both the numerator and denominator of a fraction are divided by the
same number, we get a fraction equivalent to the given fraction.
