Comparing and Evaluating Fractions

The video tutorial by Mighty Owl teaches how to compare fractions using various strategies. It begins with a visual comparison of water in jugs, followed by using number lines to compare soda can fractions. The tutorial explains how to analyze fractions with the same numerators and different denominators. It also covers comparing fractions using shapes and candy bars, emphasizing the importance of visual aids. The video concludes with mental math strategies for comparing fractions, summarizing the key concepts and strategies learned.

If two jugs are both half full but one jug is larger, which jug has more water?

• The smaller jug

• The larger jug

• Both have the same amount

• It cannot be determined

On a number line, which fraction is larger: 3/4 or 1/2?

• They are equal

• 3/4

• 1/2

• It depends on the number line

Which fraction is less than 1/2: 3/8 or 4/8?

• Both are less

• Neither is less

• 4/8

• 3/8

When comparing fractions with the same numerator, which fraction is smaller?

• They are equal

• The one with the smaller denominator

• The one with the larger denominator

• It depends on the numerator

Which is greater: 5/11 or 5/6?

• 5/11

• It cannot be determined

• They are equal

• 5/6

If a shape has 10 sections and 5 are shaded, what fraction does it represent?

• 5/10

• 1/5

• 1/2

• Both 1/2 and 5/10

Which fraction is greater: 6/7 or 4/5?

• It cannot be determined

• They are equal

• 4/5

• 6/7

Which fraction is larger: 6/10 or 4/9?

• 6/10

• It cannot be determined

• 4/9

• They are equal

If two fractions are both missing one piece, which fraction is larger?

• The one with the smaller denominator

• The one with the larger denominator

• They are equal

• It cannot be determined

Using mental math, which fraction is greater: 7/12 or 5/8?

• 7/12

• It cannot be determined

• 5/8

• They are equal
