Same Numerator Fraction Models

The video tutorial explains how to compare whole numbers and fractions. It introduces the symbols for greater than, less than, and equal to, and demonstrates their use with whole numbers. The tutorial then shifts focus to fractions, explaining the roles of numerators and denominators. It uses visual models to compare fractions with different denominators and highlights the importance of the denominator size when numerators are the same. A practical example using pizza slices illustrates how dividing an object into more parts results in smaller pieces, aiding in understanding fraction comparison.

Which symbol is used to indicate that one number is larger than another?

• Greater than

• Not equal to

• Less than

• Equal to

When comparing fractions, what does the denominator tell you?

• The total number of parts in the whole

• The number of shaded parts

• The size of each part

• The total number of shaded parts

In the fraction 1/5, which part is larger compared to 1/8?

• Both are equal

• 1/5

• Cannot be determined

• 1/8

What happens to the size of the fractional part as the denominator increases, given the same numerator?

• The size doubles

• The size increases

• The size decreases

• The size remains the same

If a pizza is divided among 10 people instead of 4, how does the size of each slice change?

• Each slice becomes larger

• Each slice becomes smaller

• Each slice remains the same

• Each slice doubles in size
