What to Focus On
- Fractions from different-sized wholes cannot be compared directly.
- The whole must be the same for a fair comparison.
- A same-looking fraction can be larger or smaller depending on the size of the whole.
- Equivalent fractions represent the same part of a whole.
- The shaded region stays the same even when the number of parts changes.
- A fraction kit helps show equivalent fractions by making one whole in different ways.
- Same denominator means same-sized parts.
- With the same denominator, the larger numerator gives the larger fraction.
- This method works because the parts are equal in size.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A fraction can be compared even when the wholes are different.
Equivalent fractions are different amounts because the numbers are different.
If the denominator is larger, the fraction is always larger.
Memory Tips

Equivalent fractions show the same part of a whole
Equivalent fractions can be made by splitting each part into more equal parts
