Grade 4
Indiana Math Standard: 4.NS.4
Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators (e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark, such as 0, ½, and 1). Explain why 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).

What do you do with students who already get their fraction operations? Give them a contrived project about recipes or pizza slices? Make them solve annoyingly hard practice problems? Please. Here, we get students thinking in a whole new way, pondering which has more power, the numerator or denominator.
