Homework:
1) Maths WS given in class on Comparing and Ordering Fractions
This year, the pupils will have to learn to compare improper fractions, mixed numbers and unrelated fractions.
To compare an improper fraction to a mixed number, just either
- convert the improper fraction to a mixed number and then compare
- convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and then compare
Unrelated fractions refer to fractions with denominators such that they are not multiples of one another. E.g. 3/5 and 1/3
To compare them, we have to find a common denominator..this can be done by finding a common multiple between 5 and 3.
