Comparing Fractions with Like Numerators and Like Denominators

The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions using greater than, less than, and equal to symbols. It covers comparing fractions with like numerators and like denominators, emphasizing the importance of starting with the same size hole. Visual models are recommended as a strategy to accurately compare fractions, highlighting that the fraction with the smallest denominator is the largest when numerators are the same, and the smallest numerator is the smallest when denominators are the same.
