Comparing Fractions Using Charts

The video tutorial explains how to use a fraction chart to compare fractions. It provides examples comparing 1/3 and 1/2, 2/6 and 3/6, and 2/4 and 3/8. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of visualizing fractions to understand their relative sizes and introduces the concept of equivalent fractions.

What is the purpose of using a fraction chart?

• To add fractions easily

• To compare fractions visually

• To divide fractions accurately

• To multiply fractions quickly

Which fraction is larger: 1/3 or 1/2?

• Cannot be determined

• They are equal

• 1/2

• 1/3

What is the first step in comparing fractions using a chart?

• Multiply the fractions

• Find the first fraction on the chart

• Subtract the fractions

• Add the fractions

What does shading the sections on a fraction chart help you do?

• Visualize and compare fractions

• Add fractions

• Divide fractions

• Multiply fractions

Why is 1/2 larger than 1/3?

• Because 1/2 is a smaller piece

• Because 1/3 is closer to zero

• Because 1/2 covers more area than 1/3

• Because 2 is greater than 3

In the pizza analogy, what happens when a third person shares the pizza?

• The pizza size increases

• The pizza is divided into two parts

• Each person gets a smaller piece

• Each person gets a larger piece

How do you determine which fraction is larger using a fraction chart?

• By multiplying the denominators

• By adding the numerators

• By shading the sections and comparing visually

• By counting the number of sections

What is the significance of the denominator in a fraction?

• It determines the shape of the fraction

• It determines the color of the fraction

• It determines the number of pieces

• It determines the size of each piece

What happens to the size of each piece as the denominator increases?

• The size doubles

• The size remains the same

• The size decreases

• The size increases

What is the mathematical symbol for 'greater than'?

• <

• >

• =

• ≠
