The video tutorial for third graders explains how to compare unit fractions using less than or greater than symbols. It begins by defining a unit fraction as a fraction with a numerator of one and explains that a larger denominator means a smaller fraction. The tutorial uses visual models to compare fractions like 1/2 and 1/5, and 1/6 and 1/4, demonstrating how to determine which fraction is greater or smaller. The key takeaway is that when comparing unit fractions, the fraction with the smaller denominator is greater.
