Week 3

comparing fractions

Introduction

Like comparing whole numbers, inequality symbols are used in fractions, too. When comparing fractions, we use these symbols to show when one fraction is

> "greater than"

< "less than"

= "equal to"

another fraction. If they their amounts are the same, we call them equivalent fractions.

Week 3 - Learning Objective

By the end of Week 3, you will determine fractional equivalence by using visual models (fraction circles, bar models, groups of things) and numerical notation. Problems will include fractions with like denominators and fractions with like numerators. You will use specific strategies and math symbols (<, >, and =) to compare, order, and model equivalent fractions.
