Main Concepts

Fractions with the same denominator are the same size.

Fractions with the same denominator but different numerators can be compared using the value of the numerators. ¼ < ¾ because ¾ has more unit fractions.

When referring to the same whole, the larger the denominator the smaller the unit portions will be.

Fractions with the same numerator can be compared by their denominators where the fraction with the smaller denominator is greater. Ex. 2/3 > 2/7
