When I teach the adding, subtracting or comparing fractions, I teach my students how to make Equivalent Fraction Tables either by skip-counting or by using multiples of the numerators and denominators. 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10,...
When you have two Equivalent Fraction Tables side by side, they look like railroad tracks… hence the title and theme of this song. -- Jim Thompson
Gonna use Railroad tracks to compare my fractions
Equivalent fractions
Railroad tracks to compare my fractions
Equivalent fractions
Reducing’s going backwards on my railroad tracks
Oh, simplify
Lowest terms is going backwards on my railroad tracks.
Gonna use like denominators to compare my fractions
Look at them they’re both the same.
Like denominators to compare my fractions
It’s like a puzzle of a number game.
Look at my numerator, see what I’m gonna choose
Gonna go back to the question to see what I’m asked to do.
