5TH GRADE: TEXT DEPENDENT QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER FOR UNIT 4

Compare, inequality : Can you solve these inequalities without using models and by using equivalent fractions? What exactly is an inequality? What do I do with it? How does that relate to comparing fractions? Fractions are parts of a whole, so how do I determine if the fraction is bigger or smaller? What kind of models should I make? How will I make sure they are equal size? What if one of my models is not the same exact size as my other, will that affect my answer? I wonder how equivalent fractions are useful in determining the inequality. Why is it called an inequality?
