This resource focuses on teaching students how to compare fractions that have the same numerator. The main goal is for students to recognize that when numerators are equal, the size of the fractions is determined by the denominators: the fraction with the smaller denominator is greater because it represents larger pieces of a whole. The document outlines various instructional strategies, including visual models and numerical explanations, to help students grasp this concept effectively. It includes examples, visual anchor charts, guided practice exercises, and opportunities for independent practice. Additionally, there are suggestions for justifying reasoning behind comparisons and real-world applications of the concepts learned, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of fraction comparison.
