Write the following on theboard.
Revise equivalent fractions with your learners. What fractions are equal to
• one half? • one quarter? • one third? • one fifth? • one sixth? Revise simplest form.
If 12 is 24; 36; 48; 105 and 126 in its simplest form, what will the following be in its simplest form? 4 6 ; 6 8 ; 3 9 ; 6 12 ; 10 15
We can also do it as follows: 4 6 =46÷ 2 2 = 23
What number can be divided into 4 as well as into 6? 2
Also revise the highest common factor (HCF) with learners:
F4= {1, 2, 4} F6= {1, 2, 3, 6} GCF = 2
So 2 is the biggest number that can divide into 4 and 6.

Introduction: Multiply fractions
Grade 8: Term 3: Week 1: Day 2 Let us multiply fractions: 1 2× 1 4
Ask the learners to identify the numerators: 1 2× 1 4
and then the denominators: 1 2× 1 4 We will first multiply the numerators and then the denominators. = 18
Concept development
Ask learners what they should remember when multiplying fractions. Do the following example on the board:
2 3 ×
1 4 = 122
If 4 = 41, how will we multiply the following fractions? 3 × 15 = 31 × 15 = 35 1 2× 2 6 1 2× 2 6= 1 6 = 122 = 122 ÷ 2 2 = 16
Ask learners to multiply the following fractions. Write it on the board: 2 4 × 6 2 = 128 = 3 2 = 112
The mixed number for this improper fraction is = 148

Introduction: Division
Introduce this lesson by giving learners some quick recall activities.
a. 8 ÷ 4 = b. 35 ÷ 7 = c. 42 ÷ 7 = d. 55 ÷ 5 = e. 63 ÷ 9 = f. 12 ÷ 2 = g. 30 ÷ 5 = h. 16 ÷ 4 = i. 81 ÷ 9 = j. 121 ÷ 11 = k. 54 ÷ 6 = l. 42 ÷ 6 = m. 35 ÷ 5 = n. 125 ÷ 25 = o. 144 ÷ 12 =
Concept development
Look at the examples in this lesson and do them with your learners on the board. Homework: Questions 1 g-j.
Learners do the following in their writing books. 1. Calculate the following.
Example: 0,4 ÷ 2 = 0,2
a. 0,8 ÷ 4 = b. 0,6 ÷ 3 = c. 0,6 ÷ 2 =
d. 0,8 ÷ 2 = e. 1,8 ÷ 3 =
2. Revision: round off your answers in 1 to the nearest whole number. 3. Revision: calculate the following.
Example: 0,25 ÷ 5 = 0,05
a. 0,81 ÷ 9 = b. 0,35 ÷ 7 = c. 0,63 ÷ 7 = d. 0,54 ÷ 6 = e. 0,12 ÷ 4 =
4. Round off your answers in 3 to the nearest tenth.
5. Solve the following problems.
a. I have R45,75. I have to divide it by five. What will my answer be?
b. My mother bought 12,8 m of rope. She has to divide it into four pieces. How long will each piece be?
c. You need seven equal pieces from 28,7 m of rope. How long will each piece be?
2,4 m
