REMEMBER
A FRACTION IS IN LOWEST
TERM WHEN THE ONLY
COMMON FACTOR OF THE
NUMERATOR AND
DENOMINATOR IS 1

OBJECTIVES
•EXPLAIN HOW TO OBTAIN A FRACTION EQUAL TO A

GIVEN FRACTION.
•GIVEN TWO FRACTIONS, DETERMINE IF THEY ARE EQUAL.
•SOLVE PROBLEMS INVOLVING FRACTIONS.
Compare and contrast the following figures:
Samantha collects red and black
ballpens. What fraction describes
the set of red ballpens? Black ballpens?
a. 6 out of 9 ballpens are red
or 2 out of 3 ballpens are red
b. 3 out of 9 ballpens are black

or 1 out of 3 are black ballpens.
HOW DO WE FIND OUT IF ONE FRACTION EQUALS
ANOTHER?
1. WE CAN REDUCE ONE OR BOTH TO LOWEST TERMS

EX. ¾ AND 9/12
9/12 ÷ 3/3 = ¾
9/12 = 3/4
HOW DO WE FIND OUT IF ONE FRACTION EQUALS
ANOTHER?
2. THE CROSS PRODUCTS OF TWO FRACTIONS ARE EQUAL

EX.
36 36
3=9
4 12

NUMBERS
TCHNSMX2017
OBJECTIVES
■Define and illustrate proper fractions,
improper fractions and mixed numbers.
■Change a mixed number to an
improper fraction and vice versa.
■Solve word problems involving mixed
numbers.
Hands – on….
■Draw a rectangle. Shade the rectangle to
represent the whole number 1.
■Draw an identical rectangle beside the first
one. Separate this rectangle into four equal
parts to show fourths. Shade one part to
represent ¼.
■Separate the whole number portion into 1/4s.
How many shaded
1/4s are there?
What fraction is
equivalent to 1 ¼?
How many shaded
1/4s are there?
REMEMBER
A proper fraction, such

as 2/3 is a fraction with
the numerator smaller
than the denominator
REMEMBER
An improper fraction is a
fraction in which the
numerator is equal to or
larger than the
denominator
REMEMBER
A mixed number like

2 ½, is a number
which has a whole
number and a fraction
FYI!!
The body of the vampire

bat measures 2 ¾
inches. Express the body
length of a vampire bat
as an improper fraction.
We can change a mixed
number into an improper
fraction or an improper
fractionChange
Examples: into2a¾ mixed
and 5 1/6 number.
to improper
fractions.
Solution: a. Express 2 as fourths: 2=2X4/4=4/8
Add ¾ to 8/4 = 11/4
b. Express 5 as sixths: 5=5X6/6 =30/6
Add 1/6 to 30/6 = 31/6
Thus 2 ¾ = 11/4 and 5 1/6= 31/6
To change an improper
fraction to a mixed number,
we reverse the procedure.
■
Examples: Change (a) 19/4 (b) 27/5
Solution 1: a. 19/4 = 16/4 +3/4 = 3 + ¾ = 4 ¾
b. 27/5 = 25/5 + 2/5 = 5 + 2/5 = 5 2/5
Solution 2: a. 19/4 = 19 b. 27/5 = 27 5 = 5R2
19/4 = 4 +3/4 = 4 ¾ 27/5 = 5 +2/5 = 5 2/5
Thus 19/4 = 4 ¾ and 27/5 = 5 2/5

numbers with the fractional part

COMPARING AND
ORDERING FRACTIONS
OBJECTIVES
1. Explain how to compare fractions with:
a. The same denominator but different numerators
b. The same numerator but different denominators
c. Different numerators and denominators
2. Given two fractions determine which one is greater.
3. Arrange fractions from least to greatest and vice versa.
4. Solve word problems involving the comparison of
fractions.
A B
A B
Strategy
• Make sure the denominators are the same.
• Compare the numerators.
•If the denominators are not the same,

then rewrite the fractions using a
common denominator.
•The new fractions should be equivalent
to the original fractions.
Writing Equivalent Fractions
• One way to find a common denominator is to
multiply the two original denominators.
5 3
6 > 4 6 x 4 = 24
x4 20 > 18
x6
20 18
24 24
•Another way to compare fractions is to find the LCM of both
denominators.
•Use the LCM as the new denominator in the equivalent fractions.

Ordering Fractions
• Find the LCM of the denominators.

• Use the LCM to write equivalent
fractions.
• Put the fractions in order using the
numerators.
Example - Order from Least to Greatest:
3 2 1
8 5 4

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40 2/5
PRACTICE
Compare each pair of fractions. Write <,> or =.

2.5/6 ____ 6/8
3.5/6 ____ 7/8
4.15/17 _____16/19
5.3/5 _____ 4/6
