The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions using rectangular area models. It begins by introducing the concept of comparing fractions with the same numerator but different denominators. The tutorial demonstrates how to draw rectangles to represent the fractions 3/4 and 3/6, partitioning them into equal parts based on their denominators. The video then shows how to shade the appropriate number of parts to visually compare the fractions. By examining the shaded areas, it is concluded that 3/4 is greater than 3/6. Finally, the tutorial guides viewers in writing a comparison statement using the greater than symbol.
