    Observe how the rectangles
    are being divided?

    Are they the same

    What can you say


    about each rectangle?
    How are the circles
    being divided?

    Are they the same

    What can you say

    Set A are
    Similar
    Fractions.

    Their
    denominator are
    all the same, so
    they are called
    Similar
    Set B are
    Dissimilar
    Fractions.

    Their
    denominator are
    not the same, so
    they are called
    Dissimilar
    Fractions.
    What do we call these fractions?
    DISSIMILAR
    The given fractions are Dissimilar
    because their denominators are not the
    same.
    Put a checkmark (√)
    if the fraction is
    dissimilar and mark
    (x) if not.
    When do we
    say that
    fractions are
    dissimilar?
    Fractions are dissimilar
    if they have different
    denominators.
    Write D on your paper if
    the given sets of fractions
    are dissimilar. and mark
    X if it is not dissimilar.

    2) Ben has a cut-out rectangle. He folded it
    into 4 equal parts and shaded 3 parts. Draw
    the rectangle made by
    Ben and give the fraction representing these
    shaded parts. Then, draw another fraction
    beside the illustration you made to make a
    pair of dissimilar fractions.
    Answer: ___________________________
    3) Camille has 2 circles of the same size. She
    folded the first circle into 4 equal parts while the
    second one was divided into 8 equal parts. If she
    shaded 3 parts in the
    first circle and 3 parts in the second circle, are the
    resulting fractions representing these shaded
    parts similar?
