Chorus
If you ever wanna compare a fraction
There are three things that can help you in that action (bring you satisfaction?),
ONE!...If the fractions have the same denominator,
The fraction with the biggest upper number is the greater.
TWO!...If numerators match then the vibe is,
The fraction with the smaller bottom number is the highest,
THREE!...If nothing seems to have the same number…
…We must get the fractions over the same denominator

Verse 1
Take three over eight and also five eighths.
You can see the denominator(s) in both is(are) the same,
And in this situation the denominator shows us…
…The whole has been divided up into 8 parts…
..There are Three of the Eight parts in three eighths…
…and then Five of the Eight parts in five eighths…
…Because five’s more than three over the same denominator,
The fraction with the biggest upper number is the greater
And since we got it here I couldn’t resist;
how about comparing three eighths and three fifths?...
…Notice that 3 fifths means out of FIVE parts;
And if that isn’t missed then we’re on the right path.
But next the circle’s been divided by 8,
And we’ve taken three parts giving 3 out of eight…
…Now we can see that the numerators match so the vibe is…
…The fraction with the smaller bottom number is the highest

Chorus

THREE!...If nothing seems to have the same number…
…We must get the fractions over the same denominator

Verse 2
I need fractions! let’s see what my mind makes.
How about three quarters and Five eighths,
And no wait!, there’s more for the mix
let’s also throw in two thirds and Five sixths,
Now they’ve all got different denominators,
And mostly the numerators are different from their neighbors
Now what must seem like an impossible task, it’s time
To put the fractions in order from smaller to large,
BUT WAIT! If nothing seems to have the same number…
…We must get the fractions over the same denominator,
So let’s get them all over 24,
Now ordering the fractions aint a problem anymore.
So remember that with the same denominator,
The fraction with the biggest upper number is the greater.
Now rearrange it all from the small to the biggest,
With the original fractions returned for the finish,

Chorus

me saying half of lyrics

if you ever wanna compare a fraction there are 3 things that help u in the action 1 if the fraction have the same denominator the fraction with the bigger upper number is greater 2 if numerators match then the vibe is the fraction with the smaller bottom number is the hightest 3 if nothing seems to have the same number we must get the fractions over the same denominator

really like this as a 4th grade teacher! I want to type up the lyrics as they sing so fast it is sometimes hard to understand, are they printed out there somewhere???
