To compare fractions with the same denominator

For our warm up to this lesson, we will discuss if we would rather have one quarter of the cakes or two quarters and give reasons why.

In this lesson, we will start to use pictorial representations to help identify and compare the size of fractions with the same denominator. We will then apply this learning to think more abstractly about what procedure is used to compare fractions with the same denominator.
