Headline Story
Explain how to find five fractions greater than 
that all have different denominators.
Possible student responses
- I could make a list of five fractions that all have the same numerators as denominators and then change each numerator to be one more than the denominator.
- is equal to one whole, so the fractions in my list have to have numerators that are larger than the denominators.
