Mastery Evidence

  • Compare 3/8 and 5/12 by finding a common denominator of 24
  • Order 2/3, 3/5, and 7/10 from smallest to largest
  • Use the benchmark 1/2 to decide that 5/8 > 3/7

Assessment Prompt

“If [child] has eaten 2/3 of their lunch and a friend has eaten 3/4 of theirs, can they work out who's eaten more — by finding a common way to compare the fractions?”
