Please choose a slide from today's class and leave a comment behind explaining why a fraction is larger than another.

How about some comments

Here are 3 examples of what we talked about in class today. Please leave a comment behind telling me what you like about the example (1, 2 or 3) and how does it explain the questions or ideas we were talking about in class.

The questions or ideas were,
1. Fractions are relations, the size or amount of the whole matters.
2. Fractions represent division with a quotient of less than 1.
3. With unit fractions the greater the denominator the smaller the fraction.

Some Fraction Thinking?!!

On a blank piece of white paper please answer the following.

1. Fractions are relations-- the size or amount of the whole matters.

2. Fractions may represent division with a quotient less than 1.

3. With unit fractions , the greater the denominator the smaller the piece is.

Some Fosnot Homework

Today in class we had an excellent Math Congress. All of you agreed that 10/12 was larger than 7/10. How can you prove this to me using words, numbers and pictures?

We also discussed fractions as division.

In this number string what patterns do you see happening?

How can we use the patterns you recognize in this picture to help us determine whether 10/12 is larger than 5/6?

Welcome to your 3 questions that need to be answered. Once again they are...
