Comparing Fractions with Same Numerator

The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions by focusing on two scenarios: fractions with the same denominator and fractions with the same numerator. It uses visual models to illustrate that fractions with the same denominator are easier to compare because the pieces are of equal size. When fractions have the same numerator, the size of the pieces depends on the denominator, with larger denominators resulting in smaller pieces. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the relationship between the numerator, denominator, and the size of fraction pieces.

Which fraction is larger, 4/6 or 2/6?

• 2/6

• Both are equal

• 4/6

• Cannot be determined

What makes it easy to compare fractions with the same denominator?

• The number of pieces

• The size of pieces

• The shape of pieces

• The color of pieces

Why is it easier to compare fractions with the same denominator?

• Because of the color of the fractions

• Because the pieces are the same size

• Because of the denominator size

• Because of the numerator size

Is 1/8 larger or smaller than 1/4?

• Larger

• Smaller

• Equal

• Cannot be determined

When fractions have the same numerator, how do we compare them?

• By the size of the numerator

• By the size of the denominator

• By the color of the pieces

• By the number of pieces

Which fraction is larger, 2/3 or 2/4?

• Both are equal

• 2/4

• 2/3

• Cannot be determined

What does a larger denominator tell us about the size of the pieces?

• Pieces become colorful

• No effect on piece size

• Pieces are smaller

• Pieces are larger

How does the denominator affect the whole when comparing fractions?

• Less pieces to make the whole

• No effect

• Changes the color of the whole

• More pieces to make the whole

If a pizza is cut into 8 pieces, how does the size of each piece compare to if it was cut into 2 pieces?

• Cannot be determined

• Same size

• Smaller

• Larger

What conclusion can be drawn about fractions with a larger denominator?

• They are easier to compare

• They represent larger pieces

• They are more colorful

• They represent smaller pieces
