Comparing Fractions Part 1

By Michelle Taylor

MGSE4.NF.2 Compare two fractions with different numerators and different

denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models, by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions.
