How to compare unit fractions?
Comparing unit fractions involves determining which of two or more unit fractions is greater or smaller. A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is 1.
-
We can use visual aids such as fraction strips, fraction bars, circles, or number lines to represent the unit fractions.
For example, we will be able to see that 1/3 is greater than 1/4.
Imagine a pizza cut into 3 slices and another same size pizza cut into 4 slices. We can visualize that the slice of pizza that was cut into 3 parts would be bigger than the slice of pizza that was cut into 4 parts.
The fraction with the larger denominator has smaller pieces, so it represents a smaller fraction of the whole. In this case, 1/4 is smaller than 1/3. -
We can also compare the denominators of the unit fractions. A smaller denominator means larger pieces, indicating a bigger fraction.
For example, 1/4 is greater than 1/6.
