2. Elsa and Emily are using multiplication to convert these fractions so that they have
a common denominator. Then they can put the fractions in ascending order of
value.

10 , 5 , 2
Elsa says, “I think I will choose 20 as my common denominator.”
Emily says, “I think I will choose 10 as my common denominator.”
Complete Elsa and Emily’s working and order the fractions for each child.

2 a. and b. Complete Elsa and a. Elsa: 37/10 = 74/20, 18/5 = 72/20, 7/2 = 70/20, 7/2 < 18/5 <
Emily’s working and order 37/10
the fractions for each child. b. Emily: 18/5 = 36/10, 7/2 = 35/10, 7/2 < 18/5 < 37/10
c. What do you notice about c. Elsa and Emily put the fractions into the
Emily’s order and Elsa’s same order even though they used different
order? Explain your common denominators. This is because both
observations. Elsa and Emily were finding fractions that
d. Whose method do you were equivalent to the ones on the cards. They
prefer? Why? were different equivalent fractions but they
represented the same value. It doesn’t matter
which common denominator you choose
because the fractions are of the same value
after you have converted them to have the
same denominator as they were before.
d. Answers may vary. Pupils may prefer Emily’s
method because she had to do fewer
calculations and her multiplication was easier.

3 a. Use these mixed numbers to a. 2 8/12 < 3 ⅗ < 3 7/10 < 3 17/20
complete this inequality. b. 4 ½ circled 4 ¾ underlined
b. Circle the fraction with the c. I do not agree with Layla because 2 ⅗ is
smallest value. Underline equivalent to 2 9/15 and this is greater than 2
the fraction with the greatest 8/15.
value. d. 1 15/20 or 1 16/20 or 1 17/20
