Comparing Fractions

 


Comparing fractions has been a challenge for my students in past years so I decided to take a new approach this year.   In the past, I showed the students all of the mathematical steps to compare, this year I started with circles instead.  For the visual learners, this has helped them see what is happening. For the students who just prefer the math steps, I showed them both ways and let them decide.
