2/3 vs 3/4 2002-01-02
From Julia:
So, here's my question. Some of the problems they've had to do starts off with two fractions, and they have to tell whether the two fractions are:
  1. The first one is greater than the second one
  2. The first one is less than the second one, or
  3. They are equal.

One day my son had the problem of 2/3 vs 3/4. Without drawing out a pie chart, how in the world can a child "eyeball" a problem like this and tell what the correct answer is? I've also tried to teach about making common denominators, but that's going over his head at this point.
