MATH:
Today we learned how to order and compare fractions.
One way we can compare and order fractions by using a number line. Fractions
can be compared and ordered if they have they same numerator or denominator. When fractions have a different numerator and
denominator we can cross-multiply. We begin by multiplying the first numerator with the second denominator.
Then we multiply the first denominator
with the second numerator. For example; 3/5 and 2/4. We multiply 3 x 4 =12
and 5 x 2 = 10. Our new fractions are now 12/5 and 10/4. Whichever fraction has
the bigger numerator is the bigger fraction, so from our example 3/5 is greater
than (>) 2/4. We also began discussing the ‘lowest common denominator,’
which we will continue tomorrow. Please see Math Antics videos to assist with
our lesson today.
Comparing Fractions:
Lowest Common Denominator
Key points to remember:
Numerator is
the number on the top part of the fraction.
Denominator
is the number on the bottom part of the fraction.
A proper
fraction is a fraction where the smaller number is the numerator and a
bigger number is the denominator. For example, ½, 3/5, 5/8.
An improper
fraction is when the numerator has a bigger number and the denominator has
a smaller number. For example, 12/7.
A mixed number
has both a whole number and a fraction. For example, 1 ¼.
