Ordering Fractions Reteach

Ordering Fractions

The first step to ordering fractions is to compare them all to 1/2. (LEG)

After comparing them to 1/2, order the ones you can. If two fractions are less than or greater than 1/2 then you have to compare those two fractions to determine the exact order. This is when we would use the butterfly method or find a common denominator. See the videos below for both strategies.

Now apply what you have reviewed in the video and order the fractions below. Drag and drop the fractions into the correct order. Read the directions and make sure you are putting them in the correct order. This will count as a grade.
