26. COMPARING FRACTIONS
• Students need to be able to determine if two fractions are
equal or if one fraction is greater or less than the other.
• Students will learn to correctly place >, <, or =
between two fractions
> is the greater than symbol
< is the less than symbol
= equal
27. •Comparing Fractions and finding which
unlike fraction (different denominators) is
larger or smaller.
•1. Write the two fractions.
•2. Multiply the first numerator with the
second denominator.
•3. Write the product above the first fraction.
28. •4. Multiply the second numerator with
the first denominator.
•5. Write the product above the second
fraction.
•6. Decide which product is greater and
put the greater than or less than
symbol between the two fractions.
29. Which sign belongs between the two
fractions?
The greater product is written above the greater fraction.
37. Ask:
How important is fraction in our life?
Why do you think fraction is very useful in market or
buying an item in a department store?
