Compare and Order Fractions
When comparing and ordering fractions you can use many methods to compare them!!!
You can draw a picture!
You can draw a picture!
You can use equivalent denominators or numerators!!!
Same Numerators!
When comparing fractions with equal numerators, the larger fraction will be the number with the smaller denominator. This is because there are fewer pieces, but there are larger! |
Same Denominators!
When comparing fractions with equal denominators, the larger fraction will be the number with the larger numerator. This is because the piece of pie are the same size, but you get more!!! |
This lady has a good example but she skips a step and does not multiply the denominators together. It is the exact same way I taught you, just missing one step.
OR you can make a fraction line!!!
The only difference is we put our fractions all on one line, while these people put them on many lines. Both are acceptable :D

Number: Quantity is measured with numbers that enable counting, labelling, comparing, and operating.
In what ways can fractions communicate numbers greater than one?
Students interpret improper fractions.
Knowledge
A fraction can represent quantities greater than one. An improper fraction has a numerator that is greater than its denominator. Natural numbers can be expressed as improper fractions with a denominator of 1. A mixed number of the form, composed of a number of wholes, and a fractional part, can represent an improper fraction.
|
Understanding
Fractions allow counting and measuring between whole quantities. Improper fractions and mixed numbers that represent the same number are associated with the same point on the number line.
|
Skills and Procedures
Relate fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers to their positions on the number line. Count beyond 1 using fractions with the same denominator. Model fractions, including improper fractions and mixed numbers, using quantities, lengths, and areas. Express improper fractions and mixed numbers symbolically. Express an improper fraction as a mixed number and vice versa. Compare fractions, including improper fractions and mixed numbers, to benchmarks of 0, 1/2 , and 1.
