Follow along with RJ from the Study Jams! crew as he walks step-by-step through the process for comparing fractions with unlike denominators. Starting with finding the least common denominator, the presentation goes on to demonstrate how the common denominator is used to find and compare equivalent fractions. The comparison of mixed numbers is also explained, though an additional example may be needed to clarify this process for all learners. After viewing the presentation, two guided practice problems reinforce student learning before they attempt the short Test Yourself assessment. Supplement this resource as either an in-class or homework assignment following a lesson on comparing fractions.
