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...

Which is the larger amount? Two-fourths of 10 dollars, or one-fourth of 100 dollars? This type of question is the main focus of a worksheet that has learners comparing fractions by their relative size. Each problem contains...

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...

Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...

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

In this comparing numbers worksheet, students compare fractions with uncommon denominators, mixed numbers and whole numbers, and mixed numbers and fractions with uncommon denominators. Students solve 10 problems.

Which decimal is greater? Learners start by comparing eight pairs of decimals, writing in the symbol (> or <) to indicate values. The next two sections involve sets of three decimals. They start by circling the decimal with the...

NASA presents a mini-unit on distances in our solar system. It incorporates scientific concepts of gravity, mass, density, and payload while your aspiring astronauts also employ mathematics skills. They calculate speed, they determine...

Part lesson, part worksheet, this handout walks math minors through the comparison of two decimal numbers. It teaches them the trick of tagging zeroes in to get the numbers to be the same length to better understand place value. A set of...

How is a sphere like a prism? Learners compare and contrast 3-D shapes, first drawing each in the boxes provided. If this is too advanced, supply pre-cut images of the shapes for learners to choose from and glue onto the worksheet. A...

Compare fractions with different denominators in a handy Common Core based instructional activity. Fourth graders decide which fraction is larger or smaller based on the parts that make up a whole (denominator) and the parts being...

Pupils complete a multiple choice pre-test based on ordering whole numbers and comparing decimals. This is an interactive worksheet.

Before handing out this number comparison activity, ask scholars to pick a number between 20 and 50. Could they do it? Explain that they chose a number greater than 20 and less than 50, which is exactly what they will be doing next. Each...

Compare two fractions with like denominators or like numerators in an excellent skills practice worksheet. With 10 sets of worksheets, the packet uses numbers and visual models to help young mathematicians determine greater...

Scholars will compare fractions using objects and pictures. They view pre-made pictures and concrete objects of fractions. Then use small white boards to draw pictorial representations of fractions.
