Comparing Fractions
The following discussions and activities are designed to give students practice in comparing fractions. The activities provide ample practice opportunities to reinforce the information from the discussions.
Upon completion of this lesson, students will:
- have had practice in simplifying fractions
- gained experience comparing fractions and ordering them on a number line
- worked on developing methods to estimate the values of fractions
Included in the plan is an EXCELLENT applet to be used known as the "Fraction Finder."
The student will develop number and operation sense needed to represent numbers and number relationships verbally, symbolically, and graphically and to compute fluently and make reasonable estimates in problem solving.
