Comparing fractions                                                    2-D shapes




                REMEMBER

           > means  'is  larger than'
           < means'is smaller than'


              Ordering fractions

              Copy.  Write  > or  < between  each  pair.

              Matching fractions

                             The same amount is coloured on these 2  rectangles.
                             So  \ and  f are equivalent fractions.
                             So we can write _L  _  2_.



              Write the equivalent fractions coloured on these shapes.

           CHALLENGE

           Choose a  suitable shape from  one of these
          to show each  of the fractions below.

           • Draw round the shape.  »Rule  lines on your drawing. «Colour in  the fraction.
