Comparing Fractions Using the 'One Away from a Whole' Strategy

What is the main idea behind the 'one away from a whole' strategy?

• To add fractions to make them a whole.

• To compare fractions that are more than one unit away from a whole.

• To identify fractions that are one unit away from being a whole.

• To find fractions that are exactly equal to a whole.

If a fraction is 5/6, what is the missing piece to make it a whole?

• 1/6

• 1/5

• 1/7

• 1/8

When comparing fractions that are one unit away from a whole, what should you focus on?

• The fraction itself.

• The missing piece that completes the whole.

• The numerator of the fraction.

• The denominator of the fraction.

Which fraction is closer to a whole: 3/4 or 7/8?

• 3/4

• 7/8

• Both are equally close

• Neither is close

In the comparison of 9/10 and 5/6, which fraction is closer to a whole?

• 9/10

• 5/6

• Both are equally close

• Neither is close

Why are tenths considered closer to a whole than sixths?

• Because tenths are not fractions.

• Because tenths are equal to sixths.

• Because tenths are smaller pieces.

• Because tenths are larger pieces.

In the final example, which fraction is closer to a whole: 2/3 or 11/12?

• Neither is close

• Both are equally close

• 11/12

• 2/3

What is the missing piece for the fraction 2/3 to become a whole?

• 1/5

• 1/4

• 1/3

• 1/2

How does the number of people sharing a pie affect the size of the pieces?

• Fewer people means smaller pieces.

• The number of people does not affect the size.

• More people means smaller pieces.

• More people means larger pieces.

Why is it important to consider the size of the missing piece when comparing fractions?

• Because it determines how close the fraction is to a whole.

• Because it changes the numerator.

• Because it changes the denominator.

• Because it makes the fraction larger.
