In class students learned how to compare and order fractions using three methods. The first method was to draw a visual using a ruler and compare the sizes of the shapes. The second method was to find a common denominator by multiplying the denominators; then comparing the numerators. The third and final method was similar to the second method except this time students are finding the least common denominator.
The notes and homework are attached.
