What is comparing fractions?
A fraction shows equal parts of a whole, the bottom number (denominator) is how many equal parts, the top (numerator) is how many you have.
How to teach it
Start with fair sharing of one whole into equal parts, name unit fractions, then build non-unit and equivalent fractions with fraction strips.
Worked example
Common mistake
Forgetting the parts must be equal, and thinking a larger denominator always means a larger fraction.
