Draw a fraction bar (or 2 equal fraction bars) and shade in 5 fourths.

What does it mean when the numerator (top number) of a fractions is bigger than the denominator (bottom number). *Hint: Think about fractions that represent one whole. How do those look? Now, think about what it would mean if the top number of your fraction was a larger number than the bottom number of your fraction. Think about how you drew the fractions bars in the last question.

Look at the image above. Explain why the greater than and less than signs were chosen for each fraction comparison. For example: "The first pair of fractions compares 2 fourths and 2 eighths. 2 fourths is greater than 2 eighths because the 2 fourths fraction bar is more shaded than the 2 eighths fraction bar. So the alligator mouth is eating the bigger fraction which is 2 fourths." Now, write your own sentences to explain the other two comparisons. Don't be lazy. Spend your time thinking and writing detailed explanations. Re-read your writing to make sure it makes sense. If it doesn't, re-write your sentence.
