1. Fraction Review!

2. Just for fun…Which is your favorite fraction? 1.1/2 2.1/3 3.1/4 4.1/8

3. Which are true about fractions? 1.Part of a whole 2.A division problem 3.Equal parts 4.All of the above

4. Which is larger? 1.1/8 2.1/12

5. Here is a picture. Notice how the denominator shows how big or small the pieces are. 1/8 is larger because when there are fewer pieces, the pieces are larger! 1/81/12

6. Compare ½ and ¼. 1.½ > ¼ 2.½ < ¼ 3.½ = ¼ 4.None of the above

7. Which fraction is greatest? 1.3/8 2.1/2 3.5/8 4.1/4

8. Let’s look at it again! 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 1/4 When we compare fractions we think about how much of the whole is represented. For example: 1/2 - The numerator is half of the denominator, so we know it is equal to one half. 5/8 – The numerator would need to be 4 to be half of 8 and 5 is more than 4, so it is greater than half! 3/8 – We know it is less than half because 3 is less than 4!

9. Which fraction is greatest? (Remember to compare the numerator with the denominator!) 1.1/10 2.2/4 3.4/5 4.3/5

10. Which fraction is the least? 1.3/4 2.7/8 3.1/2 4.12/16

11. When you looked at the last question (Which is least- 3/4, 7/8, 1/2, 12/16) did you compare the numerator with the denominator? 1.YES! 2.NO 

12. Which fraction is the greatest? 1.5/6 2.3/4

13. Did you notice? … 3/4 and 5/6 are both just one piece away from being a whole! So, which piece is smaller? That’s right one sixth is a smaller piece than one fourth. That means that although both fractions are only one piece away from being a whole, 5/6 is bigger because it needs a smaller piece added to become a whole!

14. Here is a picture! 5/63/4

15. Which fraction is least? (Remember to think about the size of the pieces!) 1.1/2 2.1/3 3.1/4 4.1/5

16. Which choice shows the fractions in order from least to greatest? 1.1/4, 3/5, 7/10 2.3/5, 1/4, 7/10 3.3/5, 7/10, 1/4 4.7/10, 1/4, 3/5

17. Which symbol will make this statement true? 9/12 5/8 1.< 2.> 3.= 4.≤

18. What is an equivalent fraction? It is the same part of a whole, but is shown in a different way. For example- 1/2 is the same as 2/4. So, instead of 1 piece shaded out of two, you have two pieces shaded out of 4. The relationship between the numerator and denominator is still the same! (1 is half of 2 and 2 is half of 4)

19. Which fraction is equivalent to 1/2? 1.4/8 2.3/4 3.1/3 4.2/5

20. Which fraction is equivalent to 2/8? 1.1/2 2.1/4 3.1/8 4.3/8
