Learn the idea
A unit fraction has 1 on top. When equal-sized wholes are split into more equal parts, each part is smaller. Always compare the same whole.
Worked example
Half of one sandwich is larger than a quarter of an identical sandwich: 1/2 > 1/4.
- Draw two bars of equal length. Split one into 2 equal parts, the other into 4.
- Two quarters cover the same length as one half, so 2/4 = 1/2.
