Comparing fractions with the same denominator

The first instance of  is under the 3rd Grade Math Mission. This exercise has students compare fractions in which the denominators are the same.

Types of Problems
There are three types of problems in this exercise:


 * 1) Select the correct inequality symbol: This problem has two fractions and asks the student to select which inequality symbol, either, can be put between them to make a true inequality.Comp1.png
 * 2) Put the fractions in increasing order: The dragging problem has three fractions that are to be placed in increasing numerical order.Comp2.png
 * 3) Correct number line: This problem asks the students to correctly identify which number line has a couple given fractions in the right order.Comp3.png

Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy and speed badges because all three problem types can be done quickly and it is easy to maneuver in the interface.


 * 1) In all cases since the numerator is the same you can answer the problem by concentrating on the numerators.
 * 2) With common denominators, the larger numerator implies a larger fraction.
