Quarter 3 – Module 2b:
Representing Fractions Using Regions,
Sets, and the Number Lines
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Grade 3-Mathematics Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)
Module on Representing Fractions using regions, sets, and number lines!
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-Mathematics Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)
Module on Representing Fractions using regions, sets and number lines!

What I Need to Know
This module was created to help you represent fractions. This module
allows to be used in several learning situations. The language used recognizes
the diverse vocabulary level of pupils. The lectures are sequenced to follow the
requirement of the course. The direction in which you read can be differentiated
to match with the textbook you are now using.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. Represent fractions using regions, sets, and number lines.
Enjoy your journey. Good luck!

Choose the letter of the correct answer. Write the chosen letter on a separate
sheet of paper.
1. Look at the illustration. What is the fraction with an X?
a. 1/2
b. 1/4
c. 2/4 x
d. 1/3
2. What fraction is shown by the shaded objects?

Represent Fractions using region,
Lesson sets, and number lines.
In this lesson, you are going to learn the skill on representing fractions. In
this module you will see different illustrations showing fractions. Fractions
represent equal parts of a whole or a collection. It has “numerator” and
“denominator”. Numerator is the number of equal parts shaded. Denominator
is the number of equal parts in a whole or collection. When the parts of a whole
are not evenly divided, they don`t form fractions. Further, there are three
different representations of fractions: i. regions, ii. sets, iii. number lines.
You just have to enjoy and follow directions properly so that you will
completely learn the lesson.
What’s In
Before going further, let us try to review first your previous learning regarding
fractions.
With the following illustrations, write the fraction of each
illustration.

What is It
A. Representing fractions using regions
Figure A.
Figure A shows 3/6, where 3 (shaded part) is
called numerator and 6 (equal parts of a whole) is called denominator;
Figure B.
B shows 12/24, where 12 (shaded part) as
numerator and 24 (equal parts of a whole) as denominator;
Figure C.
and figure C shows 2/5, where 2
(shaded part) is called numerator and 5 (equal parts of a whole) is called
B. Representing fractions using sets
There are 8 triangles in a set and 3 of
them are shaded. Thus the fraction for
the shaded part is 3/8.
C. Representing fractions using number lines
How many equal parts do the number line have?
How many of the equal parts in the number line are marked?
What fraction of the number line has been marked?

What I Have Learned
How can fractions be represented?
Fractions can be represented by the use of regions, sets
and segments.
Numerator is the Fractions represent equal parts of a whole or a
collection. It has “numerator” and “denominator”. Numerator is the
number of equal parts shaded. Denominator is the number of equal
parts in a whole or collection. number of equal parts shaded.
Denominator is the shaded. Denominator is the number of equal parts in a whole or
collection.
