Learn it With the same top number, more pieces means smaller pieces. With the same bottom number, more pieces taken means a bigger fraction.

Example: Which is bigger, $\frac{1}{3}$ or $\frac{1}{6}$?

  1. $\frac{1}{3}$ cuts the whole into 3 pieces; $\frac{1}{6}$ cuts it into 6.
  2. Fewer pieces means each piece is bigger.
  3. So $\frac{1}{3} > \frac{1}{6}$.
