This math unit focuses on the comparison of fractions, with skills progressing from introductory to more advanced levels. Initially, students learn to compare fractions where only one denominator is altered, which simplifies the process of identifying fraction equivalence and practicing basic comparisons using inequality symbols. The unit then introduces exercises involving mixed numbers and the concept of manipulating both denominators, escalating the complexity of the tasks. As students progress, they engage in more complex comparison scenarios including simplifying problems, finding common denominators, and converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers. The unit systematically builds on the foundational understanding of fractional relationships, aiming to enhance proficiency in identifying, simplifying, and comparing fractions with different denominators through various methods and increasing levels of difficulty.
