This document provides instructional material on comparing fractions. It contains several activities to help students practice comparing fractions using different methods like illustrations, changing fractions to similar fractions, using cross products, and considering whole numbers. It also includes an assessment card and enrichment activity to evaluate understanding. The goal is for students to master comparing fractions with speed and accuracy and appreciate their use in everyday situations.

8. There are many ways to compare fractions. One way is illustrating the
fractions before comparing. Consider the problem below:
Paul has ½ pizza while Tricia has 3/5 pizza. Who has the bigger size
of pizza?
3/5 has the bigger part than ½ .
Therefore, Tricia has the bigger size of pizza. We
can simply write:
Try These: Compare the given fractions with
illustrations. Use , or to compare.

.
1/2 =
3/6
Therefore, 1/2 is less than
2/3
or
Mang Mael then has a bigger
size of rice field than Mang
Ben.
2/3 = 4/6
We can also compare fractions by changing the Dissimilar Fractions
to Similar Fractions . Answer this problem:
Mang Ben has 1/2 hectare of rice field while Mang Mael
has 2/3 hectare of it. Who has the biggest size of rice field? 1/2 and 2/3 are
Dissimilar fractions. We can change them to Similar Fractions by getting the
Least Common Denominator (LCD). LCD is 6
