Learn Zillion: Compare Fractions to a Benchmark of One Using Area Models

Increase the depth of your class's fractional number sense with this number-ordering activity. Given four fractions, each with different numerators and denominators, young learners are asked to place them in order from smallest to...

Introduce a new strategy for comparing fractions by analyzing Melissa's use of benchmarks. Walk the class through her process, calling on young scholars to explain their understanding of each step she took. Then practice this method on...

Supplement your activity on improper fractions with this simple resource. Working on number lines labeled with whole numbers between 0 and 5, young mathematicians represent basic improper fractions with halves and thirds. The fractions...

In this lesson, you will learn how to compare fractions with different numerators and denominators to the benchmark fraction of one half by using area models. [4:40]

In this lesson, you will learn how to compare fractions with different numerators and denominators to the benchmark fraction of one half by using number lines. [3:54]

In this lesson, you will learn how to compare fractions to a benchmark of 3/4. [5:02]

In this lesson, you will learn how to ompare fractions to the same whole by using real-world examples. [2:57]

Introduce comparing fractions with a worksheet containing visual models. Young mathematicians must first identify the part being described in each model and then write greater than, less than, or equal to. Learners prepare to compare...

Expand the pupils knowledge of using area models to algebra. The interactive allows learners to use the same procedure of getting partial products when multiplying multi-digit numbers to multiplying polynomials. Scholars see how the...

In this lesson, you will learn how to compare fractions with different numerators and denominators by using area models to create common denominators. [4:32]
