6.  Comparing fractions
I'm going to let Mr. Habecker work through this math lesson.  I think he does a great job of going through the steps.  Once you understand some things, I encourage you to pause his video often and try to work through each problem a step ahead of him.  Learn from your mistakes along the way!
