Comparing Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions using symbols for greater than and less than. It starts with an introduction to fractions and equivalent fractions, then moves on to comparing fractions with the same denominator, using the concept of a hungry alligator to remember which symbol to use. The tutorial also covers comparing fractions with different denominators, emphasizing that a smaller denominator means larger pieces. The video concludes with a summary of the key points and encourages further practice.
