4th Grade Math 6.7, Compare Fractions by Numerator, Denominator, or Benchmarks

We can compare fractions by writing equivalent fractions using a common denominator, then the fraction with the greater numerator will have the greater value. We can also compare fractions using benchmarks, simplest form, and common numerators. When fractions have a common numerator, the fraction with the lower denominator will have the greater value. We quickly review how to make common denominators as we learned in video 6.4, and writing fractions in their simplest form as we learned in video 6.3. We can use fraction strips or draw a model to compare the fractions. Sometimes it's just faster to use benchmarks and mental math because after writing the fractions into their simplest form, we will still need to use benchmarks or common denominators to compare them. We solve two word problems involving fraction comparisons.
