Owls- Comparing Fractions

Jake had a pack of 12 markers.  He used 1/4 of the markers to color a beach scene.  Alli also had a pack of 12 markers.  She used 6/12 of the markers to color a sunset picture.

1.  Did Jake use more markers or did Alli?  Explain how you know.
2.  Give your own example of a time you've used fractions in your real life.

  2. I think JAKE used more.Because 1/4 is divided bigger and has bigger groups.


    P.S. I didn't use fracshons in my life.

  7. Alli used more than jake becuse 6/12 is 1/2 and 1/2 is more than 1/4. I used fractions when I saw 8 dogs and 4 were yellow.I knew it was a half.

  10. I think jake used more markers 'cause 1/4 has wider groups.One time I had to use fracshons to split a cake.We had to split a cake for four peaple first we split it into halves and then fourths.
