Comparing Fractions with Fraction Strips

The video tutorial by Mr. Math Blog focuses on problem-solving by comparing fractions. It introduces the use of symbols for less than, greater than, and equal to, and demonstrates how to use fraction strips to compare fractions. The tutorial includes examples with Paul and Carol's walking distances, Amy and Emily's homework completion, and Blake and Daryl's pizza consumption. The video emphasizes understanding denominators and numerators, especially when they are the same, to determine which fraction is greater.

What symbol is used to indicate that one value is greater than another?

• >

• !=

• <

• =

Who walked a longer distance, Paul or Carol?

• Both walked the same distance

• Distance is not mentioned

• Paul

• Carol

Which fraction is visually longer on the fraction strip, 3/4 or 3/8?

• 3/8

• 3/4

• Both are equal

• Cannot be determined

How many parts make up a whole in the fraction 3/4?

• 7

• 4

• 8

• 3

Who completed more of their homework, Amy or Emily?

• Information not provided

• Emily

• Amy

• Both completed the same amount

Without using models, how can we tell that 5/6 is greater than 3/6?

• Cannot be determined

• Using fraction strips

• By comparing denominators

• By comparing numerators

What common denominator do Blake and Daryl's pizza fractions share?

• 6

• 7

• 9

• 8

Who ate more of their pizza, Blake or Daryl?

• Blake

• Not enough information

• Daryl

• Both ate the same amount

What does a denominator tell us in a fraction?

• How many parts are taken

• The total value of the fraction

• The size of each part

• How many parts are in the whole

If two fractions have the same denominator, what should you compare to find the larger fraction?

• None of the above

• Fraction strips

• Whole numbers

• Numerators
