Original Prompt

Can you create me a worksheet? No explanation needed, just questions on using bar models to compare two fractions. It is for year 4. trying to teach them when the denominators are different, and the numerator is the same, the bigger the numerator the smaller the fraction.

This learning resource focuses on comparing fractions that share the same numerator. It includes a clear learning goal emphasizing the use of bar models to visualize and understand how the size of the denominator affects the size of the pieces in a fraction. The material provides several examples where students must identify the larger or smaller of two fractions with the same numerator by understanding the rule: when the numerator is the same, a larger denominator results in smaller pieces. There are multiple fraction comparisons, reflection questions, and activities involving drawing bar models to reinforce the concepts taught. Overall, the resource aims to deepen students' understanding of fraction comparisons through visual representations and strategic questioning.
