The teacher will ask the pupils to model the fractions in the word problem and
provide answers by using Fraction Disks.

At a pizza parlor, Theon, Kelvin, and Rapha purchased the same pizzas and
divided each pizza among themselves and their relatives. They decided to
bring any leftovers to work so they could share them with their colleagues.
Theon brought of the pizza, whereas Kelvin was able to bring. Rapha arrived

portion of pizza? Sort the quantity of pizza that Theon, Kelvin, and Rapha
brought to work from the largest to the smallest amount of pizza they shared

Aside from using visual representation to order dissimilar fractions, different
strategies can be used. The strategies discussed during the lesson on comparing
dissimilar fractions can be applied to ordering fractions. Using the same
example, let us demonstrate one-by-one how each of these strategies can be
applied to ordering dissimilar fractions.
Strategy 1:
Finding Equivalent Fractions of the Given with the same Denominators
