Compare fractions with same numerator or denominator, and identify equivalent fractions using visual models
Students develop understanding of fraction comparison by reasoning about the size of pieces. They learn that fractions with the same denominator can be compared by counting pieces, while fractions with the same numerator require comparing piece sizes. Students also identify and explain equivalent fractions using visual models and number lines.
