Questions 1 & 2: Place the fractions on the number line.
Question 3: Find the equivalent fractions for each pair of fractions using a common denominator. Then once the equivalent fractions are found, circle the fraction that is larger of the two.
ex. a) 8/3 and 6/4
Common denominator: 12
Equivalent fractions: 32/12 (multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4) and 18/12 (multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3)
32/12 = 8/3 --->> larger fraction
4. I told the students they don't need to bother doing this question for homework tonight.
