Friday: Freddy's fraction pond

Freddy the Frog floats on a lily pad shaped like a fraction strip.

"Ribbit! The pond is full of fraction puzzles today," he says.

"Some pads ask for equal fractions, and some ask you to compare."

"A few pads even remember your multiplying and dividing."

Riley holds his lantern high so everyone can see the pads.

Bennie settles on a log. "Remember: multiply the top and the bottom by the same number."

Freddy grins. "And every hop earns a happy splash!"

Game 4: True or false?

SentenceTrue or false?
2/3 = 8/12?
3/4 > 5/6?
4/5 > 4/6?
6/10 = 60/100?
WHY THIS EXERCISE3/4 is 9/12 and 5/6 is 10/12, so 3/4 is less than 5/6.
Try it

Stop after 3 hops. What fraction of the way did you go?
Is that more or less than one half?
Draw Freddy on a lily pad holding two equal fractions.
