If it takes 6 pie shaped pieces to form a circle and you have 2 then the fraction is 2/6
Title: "Introduction to Fractions" Objective: Students will be able to understand the concept of fractions and how to represent them visually. Materials: Fraction manipulatives, whiteboard, markers, worksheets Introduction: Discuss what a fraction is and show visual representations using fraction manipulatives. Activity: Have students practice identifying fractions on the whiteboard and with worksheets, using the manipulatives to help visualize. Assessment: Check for understanding by having students explain fractions and demonstrate their knowledge using the manipulatives.

Two ways: convert them to decimals or convert them to similar fractions and compare the numerators.
you compare them
You can compare similar fractions by looking at their numerators. You can compare dissimilar fractions by converting them to similar fractions and looking at their numerators. You can convert a dissimilar fraction to a similar fraction by finding the least common denominator.
the lower number for the denominator greater the number is.
Fraction manipulatives are a teaching aid to help children (and older people) learn to work with fractions. They consist of objects which can be handled by the pupil (manipulated) to help them learn. Fraction bars, or discs which can be taken apart like slices of a pizza are two examples.
you have to compare the common fractions
You can either convert fractions to decimals and compare the decimal numbers; find equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare numerators or find equivalent fractions with the same numerator and then compare denominators.
Math manipulatives can be very effective when teaching kids math. They work best when used in combination with the right curriculum. The manipulatives themselves are great, but to make learning successful you need to identify the learning style of the child you're teaching and present the curriculum in that manner. Manipulatives can be used with all accredited homeschooling curriculum such as; Saxon, Horizons, and Singapore math.
