Miss Robin guides students through understanding and comparing fractions using benchmarks. The video covers basic fraction concepts, introduces benchmark fractions, and applies these concepts to solve word problems. Students learn to use visual models and number lines to compare fractions with different numerators and denominators. The video concludes with a review of key concepts and encourages students to use benchmark fractions for better understanding.

What is the main concept discussed when comparing fractions with the same numerators?

• The size of the whole

• The size of the pieces

• The number of pieces

• The color of the pieces

Which of the following is NOT a benchmark number?

• 5

• 10

• 100

• 25

How can benchmark fractions help in comparing other fractions?

• By changing their values

• By making them larger

• By providing a visual reference

• By making them more colorful

In the problem with Colby and Don, which fraction is larger?

• Cannot be determined

• 5/12

• They are equal

• 7/10

What is the benchmark fraction used to determine who is closer to their reading goal, Jocelyn or Jace?

• Zero

• One-half

• Three-fourths

• One

In the scenario with Amy and Tammy, which benchmark is used to compare their gas usage?

• One-half

• Zero

• One

• Three-fourths

Which fraction is closer to one: 3/4 or 5/6?

• 3/4

• 5/6

• Cannot be determined

• They are equal

In the problem with Hayden and Aaron, who worked longer?

• Hayden

• Aaron

• They worked the same amount

• Cannot be determined

What is the key takeaway from using benchmark fractions?

• They make fractions more complex

• They help visualize and compare fractions easily

• They are only used for whole numbers

• They change the value of fractions

Which of the following is NOT a benchmark fraction discussed?

• Zero

• One-half

• One

• Two-thirds
