FOR 3RD GRADE

Fractions with common denominators may be compared using the numerators as a guide. Students don't need to draw a benchmark fraction in order to compare the two fraction. Fraction with larger numerator is the greater fraction.

12a) additional question: without drawing a benchmark fraction, which is greater between the two fraction 3/6 and 5/6. How about 2/6 and 3/6 ?

I show the number line as a proof that larger numerator is greater if the fractions have the same denominator.

So did you get the correct answer , which is greater between 3/6 and 5/6? You are right. 5/6 is greater than 3/6. Can you write it to numerical form? 5/6 > 3/6 that is how you write it in numeral form.

Now how about between 2/6 and 3/6, which fraction is greater? You are right. 3/6 is greater than 2/6. Can you write it to numerical form? 3/6 > 2/6 that is how you write it in numerical form.
