Debbie ate 1/8 of a large brownie. julian ate 1/2 of a small brownie. julian says, "i ate more brownies than you because 1/2> 1/8." use pictures and words to explain julians's mistake.

Draw two boxes. One much larger than another. Draw a line down the middle of the smaller box. This is Julian's brownie. Now, draw a line dividing the large box in half, and repeat this again and again until you get 8 equal pieces. This is Debbie's brownie. Shade in one section of Debbie's brownie and 1 section of Julian's brownie. This should show that  of a large brownie is greater than  of a small brownie.
