Description: Students should rely on reasoning of how large fractions are to use the symbols > or < to compare the value of the sum to one whole, two wholes, or one half. Occasionally, there is a number line at the top of the card to encourage thinking about the size as compare to one whole, one half, or zero to help scaffold students through their thinking.
