4th Grade Math 6.8, Compare & Order Fractions Least to Greatest, Less Than & Greater Than

We can put fractions in order from least to greatest, or greatest to least by comparing them to benchmarks, using a common denominator, or comparing their denominators when they have common numerators. Using 1/2 as a benchmark, we can quickly decide if a given fraction is less than or greater than 1/2 to compare it to another fraction. Using common denominators, we can compare and order fractions by the amount of their numerator. The lowest numerator equals the lowest fraction and the greatest numerator equals the greatest fraction. When fractions have a common numerator, we can compare and order them by their denominators. The lowest denominator equals the greatest fraction because a small denominator represent larger equal parts. We locate and label fractions on a number line to help us put them in order by their size. The fraction that is the greatest distance from zero is the greatest fraction. We compare fractions by sorting them into lists of less than 1/2 or greater than 1/2 then marking them on the number line. We order fractions by giving them a common denominator and making a list of multiples where they can meet. We also find and write a numerator that makes an inequality true.
