Final Answer:
The task asks students to compare and order fractions using visual models (circles, rectangles) and number lines, then write them from smallest to largest. The correct ordering for the given sets is:
- For the first set (e.g., 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 3/4):
1/4 < 1/3 < 1/2 < 3/4
- For the second set with shaded shapes (e.g., 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2):
1/6 < 1/4 < 1/3 < 1/2
- For the third set with bar models (e.g., 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 1/2):
Convert to common denominator or compare decimals:
1/2 = 0.5, 2/5 = 0.4, 3/5 = 0.6, 4/5 = 0.8 →
2/5 < 1/2 < 3/5 < 4/5
- For the final ordering (e.g., 1/3, 2/5, 3/4, 1/2):
Convert to decimals or common denominator (LCM of 3,5,4,2 = 60):
1/3 = 20/60, 2/5 = 24/60, 1/2 = 30/60, 3/4 = 45/60 →
1/3 < 2/5 < 1/2 < 3/4
So the final ordered lists are:
1. 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 3/4
2. 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2
3. 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 4/5
4. 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/4
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of comparing and ordering fractions worksheet.
