Shade by Ordering/Comparing Fractions

Shade (or don’t shade) the segments of the image based on whether fraction ‘a’ is greater than fraction ‘b’.

This resource also contains a second hidden hidden activity - shade the segments where both fraction ‘a’ and fraction ‘b’ are greater than 1/3.

This is a task intended for lower ability students or for students who are just learning to compare fractions. In each pair the denominators are multiples of each other (there are no co-prime pairs of denominator in any segment) so to compare ‘a’ and ‘b’ only requires one of the fractions to be converted into an equivalent.
