Teacher plan
| Activity | Minutes | Instruction |
|---|---|---|
| Equal wholes | 5 | Give each learner equal-length paper strips. Compare whole strip sizes before dividing. |
| Fold and compare | 10 | Fold one strip into two equal parts and another into four. Compare one half with two fourths. |
| Try the fraction cards | 10 | Work in pairs. Compare the three fraction cards and explain using equal-sized wholes. |
| Explain the choice | 5 | Invite learners to explain one equality and one difference. Collect the worksheet. |
- Paper strips of equal length
- Pencils
- Scissors used with teacher supervision
Learner worksheet
Compare fractions using equal-sized wholes and explain equivalent shares.
1. 3/4 _____ 6/8
Explain using equal-sized wholes.
2. 1/3 _____ 1/4
Explain using equal-sized wholes.
3. 2/6 _____ 1/2
Explain using equal-sized wholes.
Keep all wholes the same size. Comparison uses cross multiplication internally; pupils can explain with folded strips. Use <, = or > on the worksheet. Do not infer individual learning gains from this demo.
Teacher answer key
Compare fractions using equal-sized wholes and explain equivalent shares.
1. 3/4 = 6/8
Cross products: 24 / 24
2. 1/3 > 1/4
Cross products: 4 / 3
3. 2/6 < 1/2
Cross products: 4 / 6
Keep all wholes the same size. Comparison uses cross multiplication internally; pupils can explain with folded strips. Use <, = or > on the worksheet. Do not infer individual learning gains from this demo.
