Benchmark Fractions

Benchmark Fraction Introduction Sheet from Mr. Cuthbert You can access this here- it lists all the benchmark fractions What is a benchmark fraction? In math, benchmark fractions can be defined as common fractions that we can measure or judge against, when measuring, comparing, or ordering other fractions. Benchmark fractions are easy to visualize and identify, and thus, help in estimating the parts. When comparing two fractions with different numerators and denominators, we can either make their denominators common or compare them to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Benchmark fractions are most helpful when fractions to be compared are placed on a number line against the benchmarks. Helpful Videos Created by Mr. Harrington I would just suggest that you pause throughout the videos and give yourself a chance to try the methods on your own before the video gives you the answer.
