Q: What is the most common mistake students make with comparing fractions?

A frequent pitfall is: "Reversing the Comparison Symbol ( )". Why students stumble: Students confuse the direction of less than ( ). How to fix it: Remember the open mouth eats the bigger quantity: 5/7 > 2/7. Less than (<) resembles an uppercase 'L' tilted slightly. (Example: 3/8 < 5/8 because 3 is less than 5.)
