This document provides a lesson on comparing and ordering similar fractions. It discusses comparing fractions using relation symbols, arranging fractions in increasing or decreasing order, and contains examples of comparing and ordering fractions of a cassava cake that was cut into equal slices. The lesson emphasizes that when comparing similar fractions, only the denominators are compared, and the fraction with the greater numerator has the greater value.

2. MELC
*Compare similar fractions
using relation symbols
*Arrange similar fractions in
increasing or decreasing order

3. Let’s Start!
Mrs. Garcia makes Filipino
delicates like cassava cake. She
prepared a tray of cassava for her
family.
She cut the cassava cake into 10
equal slices. Mr. Garcia took 5
slices, her daughter got 2 slices,
while her son ate 3 slices.

4. Questions:
1. What fraction of the cassava cake
did Mr. Garcia take? _______
2. What fraction of the cassava cake
did the son get ? _______
3. What fraction of the cassava cake
did the daughter get? _______

5. What kind of fractions are
Which is greater?

6. In comparing similar fractions, we
compare only the denominator.

7. Which is greater?

8. Arranging in Increasing order
means arranging from the least to
the greatest.

9. Arranging in Decreasing order
means arranging from the greatest
to the least.

10. Let’s Remember!
* Fractions with the same denominators
are called similar fractions.
*In comparing similar fractions, look at their
numerators. The greater the numerator, the
greater is the value of fraction.

11. Let’s Practice!
Directions: Write the fractions for the shaded
parts of the lines. Then compare them by
writing the symbols <,>, or = inside the circle.

13. Arrange the fractions from least to
greatest.

14. Arrange the fractions from greatest to
least.
