Comparing Fractions - Follow Up

2 of 10

We’ve learned about using reasoning to compare fractions. Let’s review.

We can compare 2 fractions with the same denominator (same size parts) by comparing the number of identified parts (numerator).

  • sixth are equal sized parts
  • 2 sixths is less 5 sixths

We can compare fractions with the same numerator and different denominators by reasoning about the size of the parts.

  • fourths are larger than eighths
  • 2 parts of a bigger fraction (fourths) is greater than 2 parts of a smaller fraction (eighths)
