'Which fraction is bigger?' for 2nd grade
2nd grade / Fractions / Compare fractions / Which fraction is bigger?
2nd grade : Compare fractions - which fraction is bigger?
Knowing which fraction is bigger or smaller is not always obvious. If we compare fractions that have the same number on the bottom (the denominator) like ⅖, ⅗ and ⅘, then the bigger the number on the top (the numerator) the bigger the fraction is.
If we compare ⅘ to ⅖, we can see that these two fractions have the same denominator of 5. The numerators are 4 and 2. So we can say that ⅘ is the bigger of these two fractions. This makes sense because if I have ⅘ of a pie, that is more of the pie than if I have only got ⅖ of the pie.
There is another type of fraction that we need to talk about, unit fractions.
A unit fraction is the name for a fraction where the number on the top is a 1.
So ½ is a unit fraction and so are ⅐ and ⅛ but ⅖ is not because it's numerator is not 1, it is 2.
Comparing unit fractions to find the biggest is not as easy as our first example. If we think about the two most common unit fractions, ¼ and ½, we will see why. Which is bigger, ¼ of a cake or ½ a cake? The answer is that ½ a cake is a bigger share of the cake than ¼ of a cake even though the denominator of ½, which is 2, is smaller than the denominator of ¼, which is 4.
In the same way, if we compare ¼ with ⅛ to decide which is bigger, we will find that a ¼ share of that nice cake is a bigger share of the cake than a ⅛ share. So ¼ is a bigger fraction than ⅛.
So now we can compare some fractions with the same denominator, and we can compare some unit fractions, and we can decide which is the biggest and which is the smallest.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Which fraction is bigger?" from 2nd grade / Fractions / Compare fractions. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to for each pair of fractions, choose which one would be the bigger share of a whole.
In this game we are in a room with lots of toys - and the room needs clearing up - you need to put the play blocks back in the right boxes to tidy the room and win the game...but which is the right box for each block? Well, you can work that out by comparing the question on the block with the math answer on each of the boxes - you should drag the question block into the box whose math answer matches the picture question.
You can listen to the spoken math answer by clicking on the individual boxes. There are 5 blocks to clear up - but if you put them in the wrong boxes, there will be more... Anyway, tidy is good and practicing math is better so start now and see how you get on...
This game reinforces the math you learned or revised in the lesson by asking you to match each question to the correct answer. If you are older you may not like the childish reference to toys, but don't worry - there are other games to play, and who knows - you might like a trip down memory lane?
