Students compare fractions with the same denominator and use a number line. Part A has nine fill-in-the-blank problems about comparing 2/5 and 4/5, the rule for same-denominator fractions, and ordering fractions on a number line. Part B is a matching activity connecting four fractions — 1/4, 3/4, 1/2, and 2/4 — to their descriptions.
Number line placement reinforces that fractions are numbers with positions, not just part-of-a-whole representations.

Understanding Fractions
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 25 is less than 45 because both have the same denominator.
2. When fractions have the same denominator, the one with the bigger numerator is greater.
3. 38 is greater than 18 on a number line.
4. On a number line from 0 to 1 split into 4 parts, 34 is at the third mark.
5. 16 is less than 56.
6. The fraction 12 is exactly halfway between 0 and 1.
7. 710 is closer to 1 than to 0 on a number line.
8. Comparing 27 and 67, the larger fraction is 67.
9. 49 is less than 89 because 4 < 8.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
14
→ one out of four
same as 24
34
→ three out of four
three out of four
12
→ half of a whole
one out of four
24
→ same as 24
half of a whole
