7. Equivalent fractions name the same amount. What are Equivalent Fractions? Equivalent Fractions are fractions that have the same value. 2/3, 4/6, and 10/15 are equivalent fractions. See the fraction strips below.

9. How Can You Order fractions? Once you know how to compare two fractions, you also know how to order a group of fractions. Find fractions with like denominators Compare the numerators Multiples of 4: 4,8,12,16,20,... Multiples of 5: 5,10,15,20,… Multiples of 10: 10,20,… 20 is the least common denominator. 1/10 = 2/20; ¼ = 5/20; 2/5=8/20 8 > 5 > 2 8/20 > 5/20 > 2/20 , so 2/5 > ¼ > 1/10. 1/10 is less than ¼ or 2/5

14. Standards 5.N.4 Create equivalent fractions, given a fraction. 5.N.5 Compare and order fractions including unlike denominators (with and without the use of a number line) Note: Commonly used fractions such as those that might be indicated on a ruler, measuring cup, etc. 5.N.9 Compare fractions using <, >, and = COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS (new) 4.NF.2 Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as ½. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
