During this part, ask students to provide examples of fractions for the class to sort. Part 2 offers continued practice with placing fractions in each of the 3 categories of less than 1, equal to 1, and greater than 1. The greater than (>) operator returns True if the list of categories on the left side is a proper superset of the list of categories on the right side.
Be sure there’s a balanced number of fractions in each category. Part 1 asks the class to determine whether given fractions are less than 1, equal to 1, greater than 1. If students found this activity hard, you may want them to go over the finished lists and try to articulate the rule. Students who are successful at this have already generalized the rule: fractions greater than 1 have numerators larger than their denominators those that are less than 1 have numerators smaller than their denominators the rest are equal to 1.
Students will determine if given fractions are less than, equal to, or greater than 1. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the right, >, has been found in documents dated as far back as the 1560s. Include this visual/chart on the whiteboard The greater-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values.
