Introductory video and short video on how to order fractions - although it focuses slightly more on methods of calculating this, rather than the intuition behind it.

The exercises may be slightly dry, but this is great practice for putting fractions in order. Try working them out in your head before you do it on paper!

The worked examples, as well as the practice worksheets in sections 1, 2 and 4 help to build a very good intuition around whether certain fractions are larger, smaller or equal to each other without needing to do any calculations.
