Comparing Fractions Teacher Resources

Comparing fractions has never been so easy! The visual models and verbal explanations in the second video of this series clearly demonstrate how to compare two fractions with the same denominator. After working through multiple examples,...

Comparing fractions can be a struggle for many young mathematicians. Using clear visual models, the first video in this series demonstrates how to compare two fractions with the same numerator. A Guided Practice video provides learners...

Introduce comparing fractions with a worksheet containing visual models. Young mathematicians must first identify the part being described in each model and then write greater than, less than, or equal to. Learners prepare to compare...

Increase the depth of your class's fractional number sense with this number-ordering activity. Given four fractions, each with different numerators and denominators, young learners are asked to place them in order from smallest to...

Introduce a new strategy for comparing fractions by analyzing Melissa's use of benchmarks. Walk the class through her process, calling on students to explain their understanding of each step she took. Then practice this method on two...

Follow along with RJ from the Study Jams! crew as he walks step-by-step through the process for comparing fractions with unlike denominators. Starting with finding the least common denominator, the presentation goes on to demonstrate how...

In this comparing fractions practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems that require them to compare fractions.

Greater than, less than, how do these fractions compare? Using shaded blocks and circles, little ones learn to compare. This is for beginners, as all of the numerators are the number one.

Which fraction is greater than? Less than? There are 10 problems here that give scholars a visual approach to comparing fractions. They start by writing the fractions represented in a shaded shape. Then, they begin comparing visual...

For this comparing fractions worksheet, students place the greater than, less than or equal to sign between pairs of fractions.

The best way to teach students how to compare fractions is using visual means. This instructional activity suggests a variety of ways to help learners understand this concept using a SMART Board, Kidspiration, videos, computer games, and...

in this comparing fractions worksheet, students compare a set of 14 pairs of fractions, circling either the greater than, equal to or less than symbol. 

In this comparing fractions worksheet, students review how to use denominators to help them compare fractions and then respond to 12 questions.

Perfect for use at a math center or independent work station, this game has learners flip cards to compare fractions. They click on a card, reset the deck, click again, then determine which is bigger. This can be done as a class, used as...

In this math worksheet, learners compare fractions, decimals, and percents. They rewrite the fractions as decimals before telling which number is either the least or greatest in 12 examples. They order three sets from greatest to least,...

In this comparing fractions instructional activity, students solve 10 problems in which simple fractions with unlike denominators are compared using the signs: <, >, or =.

Two visual problems give mathematicians a chance to compare fractions with like denominators. They examine two pairs of shapes with portions filled in, adding the greater than, less than, or equal to symbol between each. The shape pairs...

Compare fractions  with these visual examples, all of which have like denominators. There are five pairs of shapes here with various portions shaded. Each pair is segmented into the same number of sections, so comparing is much simpler....

In this comparing fractions worksheet, learners compare fractions that contain 1 digit numbers and identify which is bigger. Students complete 10 problems.

In this comparing fractions worksheet, students compare fractions and determine which number is smaller, larger, or equal to the other number. Students complete 10 problems.

For this comparing fractions worksheet, students compare fractions and identify whether a fraction is smaller, larger, or equal to the other. Students complete 10 problems.

One task, broken into four parts, challenges mathematicians to show what they know about fractions. Using a number line and models, scholars compare fractions and prove proficiency through written responses.
