FAQ
What key rule do students apply when comparing fractions with like denominators?⌄
When denominators are equal, the fraction with the greater numerator is larger — because each equal piece is the same size and more pieces means more total value.
How can a number line support like-denominator comparison?⌄
Plotting both fractions on the same number line with identical markings lets students see at a glance which fraction falls further from zero.
What's a good warm-up before like-denominator comparison worksheets?⌄
Have students physically fold paper strips into equal parts and shade different amounts, then compare side by side to build intuition before working abstractly.
