      TEKS 4.3D: Compare Fractions

      • Compare Fractions with Models

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can compare two fractions with different numerators and denominators using models. ​

        Focuses On:

        • Comparing fractions using models
        • Using models to determine the accuracy of fractional comparison

        Builds On:

        2.3B:

        Explain that the more fractional parts used to make a whole, the smaller the part; and the fewer the fractional parts, the larger the part.


        3.3H:

        Compare two fractions having the same numerator or denominator in problems by reasoning about their sizes and justifying the conclusion using symbols, words, objects, and pictorial models.

        Next Level:

        6.2D:

        Order a set of rational numbers arising from mathematical and real world contexts.

        This lesson is designed to support student understanding of the relative size of fractions as students use comparison symbols to compare two fractions. Models are always given.


        The instructional block in this lesson is compare fractions.


        The lesson begins by asking students to create models to represent fractions in order to compare them. Students are then asked to create fractional comparison statements with the >,<, or = sign by using models.


        This lesson should be taught before "Comparing Fractions without Models" and after 4.3C, which involves equivalent fractions.


        Visual models are built into the lesson to support student understanding.
