In this lesson, students will use manipulatives to prove that when comparing fractions, the larger the denominator the larger the piece.  Also, when pieces are the same size (the denominator), the numerator denotes how many pieces of that size we have.

In this lesson, students will use manipulatives to prove that when comparing fractions, the larger the denominator the larger the piece.  Also, when pieces are the same size (the denominator), the numerator denotes how many pieces of that size.  Students will be able to sort fractions quickly by adding the fraction by itself to determine if it is smaller, equal, or larger than ½. 

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about comparing fractions with common denominators or common numerators.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about ordering fractions with different denominators.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about comparing decimals and fractions using inequalities.

This resource is a series of slides that asks students to compare a given fraction to the benchmark numbers of 0, 1/2, and 1. This product also asks students to make generalizations about sets of fraction that are all equal to 1/2, have the same denominator, or all are one unit fraction piece away from a whole. This product is best used in conjunction with fraction strips.

Comparing Fractions.  Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This is a Jamboard to compare fractions.  The students will drag <, >, or = to make each statement true.

The purpose of this task is for students to compare fractions using common numerators and common denominators and to recognize equivalent fractions.

This video is part of the Learn and Grow with WHRO TV series. In this session, students compare fractions using words and symbols for greater than, less than, and equal too.

Jamboard comparing fractions, decimals, and percents. Students will click on sticky notes and drag to boxes.  These will be put in order from least to greatest.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about comparing fractions using lcm - word problems.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about comparing fractions using a fraction bar illustration.

This task is meant to address a common error that students make, namely, that they represent fractions with different wholes when they need to compare them. This task is meant to generate classroom discussion related to comparing fractions. Particularly important is that students understand that when you compare fractions, you implicitly always have the same whole.

The purpose of this task is to help develop students' understanding of addition of fractions; it is intended as an instructional task.

The focus of this task is on understanding that fractions, in an explicit context, are fractions of a specific whole. In this problem there are three different wholes: the medium pizza, the large pizza, and the two pizzas taken together.

The purpose of this task is for students to compare a number and its product with other numbers that are greater than and less than one.

Within this interactive lesson, students will navigate and explore comparing positive and negative fractions, deicmals, and percents through Desmos. Students will also gain practice from finding equivalencies, using picture representations and number lines, and through mathematical discourse. Students will be able to do the following:Use a number line to sort, compare, and order integers, fractions, decimals, and percents.Compare integers, fractions, decimals, and percents.Order integers, fractions, decimals, and percents.
