Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using…

to see the pattern that the higher the number of pieces the more that is required to make a whole and therefore make the pieces smaller as the number gets larger. Number lines are an excellent resource for showing the difference in value between fractions, as it allows for the factions to be compared side by side. Educators have to be careful at this stage when comparing fractions, a common misconception is that the numbers within the fraction are whole numbers. This causes students to compare…

knowledge, humans are the only creatures on earth that are able to contemplate infinity. We commonly talk about the infinite universe (which cosmologists now tell us is almost certainly finite but unbounded), we speak of infinite number series, such as the set of even numbers, and we use it metaphorically, as in saying someone has “infinite patience.” Time itself is spoken of as infinite, though it is always tied to finite objects which are changing and we can 't even come up with a coherent…
