Comparing Fractions
ContentFractions, Proportions
LearningThis resource requires learners to create fractions with common denominators. The student is given the opportunity to visualize the fraction pieces and easily see equivalent fractions by doing this. It is a great connection to the idea of addition of fractions based on common denominators. It also compares fractions by having the learner plot the values on a number line once common denominators have been reached.
This website offers relational understanding of fractions and equivalent fractions. The resource requires students to use visual models to demonstrate equal fraction values and by doing so makes the connection between fractions and a "common denominator." The learning that happens is a true understanding of the value of fractions and the relationship between the numerator and denominator. TechnologyThis technology acts as a visual representation and manipulative for students. Students can easily take a whole and divide it into more pieces while still having the same value indicated by shading.
