14. Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators using concrete models, benchmarks (0, ½, 1), common denominators, and/or common numerators, recording the comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justifying the conclusions.

a. Explain that comparison of two fractions is valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole.

In this interactive activity, students will be led through steps to compare fractions and mixed numbers. There are teaching activities as well as practice activities available. A handout with practice problems can be printed. After utilizing this resource, the students can complete the short quiz to assess their understanding.

a. Explain that comparison of two fractions is valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole.

In this interactive activity, students will be led through steps to find the least common multiple of two numbers which will help students add, subtract, and compare fractions. There are teaching activities as well as practice activities available. A handout that reviews the strategies taught during the interactive can be printed. After utilizing this resource, the students can complete the short quiz to assess their understanding.
