Let's review what you've learned about fractions so far. You know that a fraction can be less (smaller) than one, greater (larger) than one, or equal to one. How do you know when a fraction equals one? It's when the top number (numerator) and the bottom number (denominator) are equal! How can you tell that a fraction is less than one? A fraction is less than one when the top number is less than the bottom number. And you know that a fraction is greater than one when the top number is greater than the bottom number.
Suppose you had two blueberry pies, each with six slices. You then took 
of the pie. Did you take a part that is greater than, less than, or equal to one whole pie? How do you know? You took a part that is less than one whole pie. You know this because 5 is less than 6. What if your brother came by and took 
of the pie? Is 
greater than, less than, or equal to the whole pie? Since 1 is less than 6, you know that your brother took a part that is less than one whole pie.
