Ordering Fractions with Common Denominators from Least to Greatest

This video tutorial teaches how to order fractions with common denominators from least to greatest by comparing numerators. It explains the roles of numerators and denominators, using visual models and number lines to illustrate the concepts. The tutorial includes examples and practice problems to reinforce learning.

What is the role of the numerator in a fraction?

• It is always larger than the denominator.

• It shows the number of parts being considered.

• It indicates the number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

• It represents the total number of parts.

How can you determine the order of fractions with the same denominator?

• By comparing the denominators.

• By comparing the numerators.

• By adding them together.

• By converting them to decimals.

Which fraction is the largest on a number line between 0 and 1?

• The fraction with the largest numerator.

• The fraction with the smallest numerator.

• The fraction with the largest denominator.

• The fraction closest to 0.

In the example with fractions 1/6, 5/6, and 3/6, which fraction is the smallest?

• 1/6

• All are equal

• 5/6

• 3/6

Given the fractions 7/8, 4/8, 2/8, and 5/8, which is the correct order from least to greatest?

• 2/8, 4/8, 5/8, 7/8

• 7/8, 5/8, 4/8, 2/8

• 4/8, 2/8, 5/8, 7/8

• 5/8, 2/8, 4/8, 7/8
