CCSS.3.NF.A.3.d Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols [greater than], =, or [less than], and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

TEKS.3.3.H compare two fractions having the same numerator or denominator in problems by reasoning about their sizes and justifying the conclusion using symbols, words, objects, and pictorial models.

IN.3.NS.8 Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size based on the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols [greater than], =, or [less than], and justify the conclusions (e.g., by using a visual fraction model).

VA.NS.4.2.a compare and order fractions and mixed numbers, with and without models;

VA.NS.3.2.c compare fractions having like and unlike denominators, using words and symbols ([greater than], [less than], =, or ≠), with models.
