What children learn in Level 58
- Some fractions are easy to compare with 1 half. 3 eighths is less than half, because half of 8 is 4. 4 sixths is more than half, because half of 6 is 3.
- So 3 eighths is less than 4 sixths. You don't need to cut anything!
- Compare 5 sixths and 7 eighths. Each one is missing just one piece to make a whole: a sixth, or an eighth.
- An eighth is a smaller piece than a sixth, so 7 eighths is closer to 1. 7 eighths is greater!
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 4.NR.4.3 — Compare two fractions with different numerators and/or different denominators by flexibly using a variety of tools and strategies and recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole.
