Fraction Comparison - Problem Simplification - Basic - One Changed Denominator (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on comparing fractions by simplifying problems where one denominator changes. Learners are expected to determine which of two given fractions is greater, lesser, or if they are equal by first making their denominators the same. This introduces basic fraction comparison skills and helps students begin to understand how to manipulate denominators to compare fractional values correctly. Each question provides multiple expressions where learners can test their understanding by choosing the correctly simplified comparison. The level is introductory, suitable for beginning learners of fraction concepts.
