One of the most effective models for fractions is a pictorial model rather than a physical model.
The fraction square is an excellent tool for establishing mental imagery for a wide variety of fraction concepts.

There is one big idea that determines what we do procedurally when making comparisons—
People who compare unlike things are said to be “comparing apples and oranges.” Comparison of fractions is much easier when the fractional units are the same.

Either of these approaches to the modeling of fraction multiplication works well with children.
Both methods do an effective job of building mental imagery for the process.
Both methods do a good job of convincing children that the answers make sense—that they must be correct.
And, consequently, both methods produce results that can be used as the basis for generalizing the fraction multiplication algorithm.

Recall that there is one big idea for comparison—compare like units.
We have already applied this big idea in the comparison of two fractions. We renamed the fractions with the same denominator (the fractional unit) and then the comparison was easy.
If we want to compare more than two fractions, we need to rename them so that all of them have the same denominator.

23
25
We can rename the fractions using 30 ( that is, 2 X 3 X 5) as the denominator.
= 1530
= 2030
= 1230
Now it is easy to compare any two of the fractions or arrange the fractions in order.
