A whole number is bigger because it is an whole. A fraction is just a part of something.
Examples:
- If you have 1 whole Pizza & 1/5 of a pizza the 1 whole is bigger because you have all the pieces of it.
- I have a 1 apple and 3 friends. One other friend brought their own apple. I have to cut my apple into 4 pieces (for me and 3 friends). But our other friend still has one whole apple.
- A whole package of pencils contains 10 pencils. You give away 5 pencils to friends, or 1/2 of your package.
- You have 2 pies. One is for your grandparents. You share the other pie with your brother. He eats 1/3rd, you eat 1/3, and your uncle eats 1/3. But your grandparents take their 1 whole pie home with them.
