Comparing and Ordering Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

Mrs. Wier Rosio covers Chapter 6, Lesson 6.2 on comparing and ordering fractions, decimals, and percents. The lesson includes examples of comparing different types of numbers, emphasizing the importance of converting them to the same type for accurate comparison. Students are guided through exercises involving fractions, decimals, and percentages, including real-world applications like population comparisons. The video concludes with an exit ticket exercise to reinforce the concepts learned.

Why is it important to compare numbers of the same kind?

• Because it helps in understanding the context better.

• Because different types of numbers have different properties.

• Because it is a rule in mathematics.

• Because it makes the comparison easier.
