Ordering Fractions: A 4th Grade Challenge

The video tutorial explains how to order fractions from least to greatest by estimating their sizes and finding a common denominator. It begins with an introduction to the concept of ordering fractions, followed by estimating which fractions represent larger portions. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find a common denominator by identifying a multiple of the denominators involved. Once a common denominator is found, the fractions are converted, making them easier to compare. Finally, the video shows how to compare the converted fractions to determine their order from least to greatest.

What is the first step in comparing fractions to order them?

• Find a common denominator

• Multiply numerators

• Estimate their values

• Convert to decimals

Why is finding a common denominator helpful in comparing fractions?

• It simplifies the fractions

• It changes the value of fractions

• It allows for direct comparison of numerators

• It makes the fractions larger

What common denominator is chosen for the fractions 7/10, 1/3, and 5/6?

• 20

• 10

• 6

• 30

What is the process called when you change fractions to have the same denominator?

• Fractional reduction

• Denominator alignment

• Equivalent fraction conversion

• Numerator scaling

How is 7/10 converted to have a denominator of 30?

• Multiply by 2/2

• Multiply by 3/3

• Multiply by 5/5

• Multiply by 4/4

Why do we multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number when converting fractions?

• To increase the fraction's value

• To decrease the fraction's value

• To keep the fraction's value the same

• To simplify the fraction

What is the equivalent of 1/3 when converted to have a denominator of 30?

• 10/30

• 15/30

• 25/30

• 20/30

After converting to a common denominator, which fraction represents the largest portion of the group?

• 21/30

• 10/30

• 25/30

• 15/30

Which fraction is the smallest after converting all fractions to have a common denominator?

• 5/6

• 1/3

• 2/3

• 7/10

What order do the fractions 1/3, 7/10, and 5/6 go in from least to greatest?

• 7/10, 1/3, 5/6

• 5/6, 1/3, 7/10

• 7/10, 5/6, 1/3

• 1/3, 7/10, 5/6
