Week 4 Challenge

We are going to try a different approach this week. I would like you to come up with three fraction questions that I can post on the blog. You can either post them as a comment or bring them in tomorrow.
So far we have looked at:
* denominator, numerator and vinculum
* The role the denominator plays
* We have discussed fractions in terms of greater than and less than
* We have placed fractions on a number line and put them in order from smallest to biggest.
