Shahana stands next to a wall touch screen showing fractions and two sliced pizzas. She is in her twenties, with shoulder-length brown hair. She wears a blue T-shirt with a print that reads "Home Work Zone."

She says HI TVO
KIDS.
I'M TEACHER
SHANANA
AND I'M HERE
TO SHOW YOU HOW TO
COMPARE FRACTIONS
THAT HAVE THE
SAME
DENOMINATOR.
IT'S USEFUL TO THINK
OF FRACTIONS
BY LOOKING AT
REAL LIFE EXAMPLES
SO I HAVE SOMETHING
FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT.
SUPPOSE MY FAMILY
ORDERED A MEDIUM SIZE PIZZA
DIVIDED INTO EIGHT
EQUAL SECTIONS.
WE ATE FIVE OF
OUR SLICES.

She highlights fives slices with her index finger.

She continues YOUR FAMILY ORDERS
THE SAME PIZZA
DIVIDED IN THE
SAME WAY
AND EATS
SEVEN SLICES.
SO WHOSE FAMILY
ATE MORE?
SEEMS SIMPLE
ENOUGH.
YOUR FAMILY ATE
SEVEN SLICES,
MY FAMILY ATE FIVE.
SO I'D SAY
THAT YOUR FAMILY ATE MORE.
WE CAN ALSO THINK
OF THIS SCENARIO
USING FRACTIONS.
ACCORDING TO
OUR PICTURE,
IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT MY FAMILY ATE
FIVE EIGHTHS OF
OUR PIZZA
AND YOUR FAMILY
ATE SEVEN EIGHTHS OF YOURS.
NOW KNOWING THAT
THE FRACTIONS BOTH HAVE
THE SAME
DENOMINATOR
OR THE NUMBER
BELOW THE LINE
WE CAN THEN SAY
THAT THIS PICTURE
LOOKS LIKE IT
HAS MORE SHADED PARTS
THAN THIS PICTURE
AND THAT THIS FRACTION
IS GREATER.

She draws a greater than sign between the fractions five eighths and seven eighths.

She concludes NOW REMEMBER,
THE SYMBOL THAT
YOU USE TO COMPARE
THE FRACTIONS
OR SOMETIMES
WE KNOW IT AS PAC MAN
IS ALWAYS EATING UP
THE LARGER FRACTION.
SO OUR RULE THEN
WHEN WE'RE COMPARING
FRACTIONS THAT HAVE
THE SAME DENOMINATOR
IS IF BOTH OF THEM
HAVE THE SAME DENOMINATOR
WE CAN SIMPLY LOOK AT
THE NUMERATOR OR THE
NUMBER AT THE TOP
TO DECIDE WHICH FRACTION
IS GREATER.
I'M TEACHER
SHANANA.
NOW YOU KNOW
HOW TO COMPARE
FRACTIONS THAT
HAVE THE SAME DENOMINATOR.
