Comparing and Ordering Fractions

The video tutorial covers three methods to compare fractions: using common denominators, common numerators, and benchmark fractions. It provides step-by-step examples and encourages students to practice on their own. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the size of fraction parts and using benchmarks like 1/2 to make comparisons easier.

What is the first step when comparing fractions using common denominators?

• Compare the numerators

• Find a common denominator

• Add the fractions

• Multiply the fractions
