Comparing Fractions with Number Lines to the Benchmark of 1

This video tutorial teaches how to compare fractions with different numerators and denominators using number lines. It explains the concept of benchmark fractions, particularly the fraction 1, and how to determine if a fraction is less than, equal to, or greater than another. The tutorial provides practical examples, illustrating the use of number lines to compare fractions like 1/3 and 3/2 to the benchmark fraction 1. Key concepts include understanding the value of fractions, using comparison signs, and applying number lines for visual comparison.
