Objective: Compare fractions greater than 1 by reasoning using benchmark fractions.
Students compare fractions greater than 1 in Lessons 26 and 27. They begin by using their understanding of benchmarks to reason about which of two fractions is greater. This activity builds on students’ rounding skills, having them identify the whole numbers and the halfway points between them on the number line. The relationship between the numerator and denominator of a fraction is a key concept here as students consider relationships to whole numbers.
