Lesson Details
Key learning points
- To compare non-unit fractions, the whole must be the same for each fraction.
- When you compare fractions with the same denominator, the greater the numerator the greater the fraction .
- If the whole is not the same, you can not compare the fractions.
Common misconception
Pupils may try to compare fractions where the wholes are not the same.
It's important that pupils understand that for comparison of fractions the wholes must be the same. This lesson uses one example of comparing distances in miles versus distance in kilometres as well as comparing pizzas of different shape and size.
