Comparing Fractions: Visual and Number Line Techniques

The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions by plotting them on a number line and using visual representations. It demonstrates that 1/2, 2/4, and 4/8 are equivalent fractions, while 3/8 is smaller. The tutorial encourages learners to understand fractions through both numerical and visual methods.

What are the two methods suggested for comparing fractions?

• Asking a friend and using a ruler

• Multiplication and division

• Plotting on a number line and visual depiction

• Using a calculator and guessing

Which fraction is represented at the same point as 1/2 on the number line?

• 3/8

• Both 2/4 and 4/8

• 2/4

• 4/8

How many equal sections is the number line divided into to plot 4/8?

• 8

• 6

• 4

• 2

What does the comparison of 4/8 to 1/2 and 2/4 demonstrate?

• That 4/8 is larger

• That 4/8 is smaller

• That 4/8 is equivalent

• That 4/8 cannot be compared

What fraction is shown to be less than 1/2, 2/4, and 4/8?

• 1/8

• 3/8

• 3/4

• 1/4

Which fractions are shown to be equivalent through both methods?

• 1/2, 2/4, and 4/8

• 3/8 and 4/8

• 1/2 and 3/8

• 2/4 and 3/8

Which fraction is not equivalent to the others?

• 3/8

• 4/8

• 2/4

• 1/2

How is 2/4 visually proven to be equal to 1/2?

• By using a different color

• By shading more sections

• By comparing with a different shape

• By dividing each section into two

What visual method is used to compare the fractions?

• Using pie charts

• Coloring squares

• Shading rectangles

• Drawing circles

Which fraction is visually shown to occupy less than half of the rectangle?

• 2/4

• 4/8

• 1/2

• 3/8
