Less, More or Equal to half (Evenly divisible)
- Decide whether a fraction is less than, equal to, or greater than one half.
- Use the numerator and denominator to tell if a fraction is exactly one half (evenly divisible).
- Compare fractions to the benchmark fraction 1/2 without converting to decimals.
- Recognize equivalent fractions that are equal to 1/2 (like 2/4 or 5/10).
Comparing Fractions with Addition & Subtraction
- Add and subtract fractions to find a sum or difference.
- Compare two fraction results to decide which is greater, less, or equal.
- Use common denominators or equivalent fractions to make comparisons easier.
Determining Value Relative to Half
- Decide whether a shaded fraction is less than, equal to, or greater than one-half.
- Compare a fraction to 1/2 by thinking about how many equal parts make a whole.
- Use pictures like fraction models or number lines to judge a fraction’s size compared to 1/2.
