3rd Grade Math 9.3, Compare Fractions with the Same Numerator

We can compare fractions that have the same numerator by looking at their denominators and comparing the size of their pieces. The fraction with the greater denominator has smaller pieces, the whole is divided into more pieces that are smaller. The fraction with the smaller denominator has larger pieces, the whole is divided into less pieces. We use fraction strips to compare fractions that have the same numerator. We see how 1/6 can be greater than 1/4 because the whole objects that they represent are different sizes. We use a less than, greater than, or equal to sign to compare fractions that have the same numerator.
