How about this one: Which is greater: 
or  ?
Let's think of a pizza again - mostly,
because I like pizza. Ok, back to the math.
The denominators are both 8,
so let's look at a pizza cut into 8
pieces: 
You're SUPER hungry... Do you want
3 pieces? Or
7
pieces?
7
is WAY more!
So
Sometimes, you can tell just by using
your head!
Which is greater: 
or 
?
Hmm...
isn't very much pizza - only
2
pieces out of 9...
But,
is MORE THAN a whole pizza. Isn't it? In fact, it's  .
A whole pizza AND another slice.
So 
Head on over to the next
page to try some fraction practice problems...
