Abstract: 
This study aimed to improve the performance level of grade 4 learners on addition and subtraction of dissimilar fractions using the didactic game-lego. Lego bricks are manipulative materials that can be connected to form shapes and can be used in fractions. One group pre-test and posttest design was utilized in the conduct of the study. There were 10 participants from the grade 4 class. Mean was utilized to determine the mean scores of learners before and after the intervention. Paired samples t-test was used to determine differences in the level of performance of the learners before and after applying the intervention. Results showed a slight increase in the performance of the group (beginning to developing). However, t-test showed that there was a significant difference in the means of the pre-test and posttest scores when results were subjected to statistical analysis. In conclusion, the slight increase in performance level of the learners was positively affected by the intervention.
