Comparing Fractions with Like Denominators
Students will compare fractions that have the same denominator using visual models and reasoning.
Key Questions
- Explain why a larger numerator means a larger fraction when denominators are the same.
- Construct a comparison statement between two fractions with like denominators.
- Predict which of two fractions with the same denominator is larger without drawing a model.

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
