Comparing Fractions for 3rd Graders

The video tutorial teaches students how to compare fractions by examining numerators and denominators. It explains that when fractions have the same denominator, the fraction with the larger numerator is greater. Conversely, when fractions have the same numerator, the fraction with the smaller denominator is greater. The tutorial includes examples and practice exercises to reinforce these concepts.

If two fractions have the same denominator, how do we determine which one is greater?

• Multiply the denominators

• Add the numerators

• Compare the denominators

• Compare the numerators

Which is greater: 7/8 or 2/8?

• It depends on the context

• 2/8

• 7/8

• Both are equal

In fractions with the same denominator, what determines the larger fraction?

• The overall value of the fraction

• The smaller numerator

• The denominator size

• The larger numerator

Which fraction is smaller: 4/9 or 6/9?

• Cannot be determined

• Both are equal

• 6/9

• 4/9

When comparing 4/6 and 1/6, which is true?

• 1/6 is greater

• Cannot be compared

• 4/6 is greater

• Both are equal

What does it mean if two fractions have the same numerator?

• They are equal

• The one with the larger denominator is greater

• The one with the smaller denominator is greater

• Cannot compare them

How do we compare fractions with different denominators but the same numerator?

• By comparing the size of pieces each fraction represents

• By dividing the denominators

• By adding both denominators

• By subtracting the numerators

If a fraction is broken into fewer pieces, what can be said about the size of each piece?

• The pieces are larger

• The size of the pieces remains unchanged

• The pieces are smaller

• The size of the pieces depends on the numerator

Which fraction represents a larger portion: 1/3 or 1/4?

• 1/3

• 1/4

• Both are equal

• It depends on the whole

Which fraction is larger: 3/4 or 3/5?

• 3/4

• 3/5

• Both are equal

• Cannot be determined
