Khan Academy: Comparing Fractions: Number Line

Have your class demonstrate their ability to compare fractions with this short multiple-choice assessment. Using the fractions 9/8 and 9/4, the learners first make comparisons using both words and the greater than/less than signs. Next,...

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...

Using a number line can provide students with a concrete representation of the value various numbers hold. Sal plots 6 different numbers on a number line. He includes whole, decimal, and negative numbers.

Sal Kahn compares fractions on a number line.

Demonstrates how to use a number line to compare fractions with different denominators. [2:54]

Once your class has mastered the identification of fractions, have them locate fractions on a number line. This sheet reinforces interval sizes of parts included in a whole, and directly relates to the standards associated with Common...

Arrange improper fractions on a number line to determine the equivalency to whole numbers. The number line starts at -4 and ends at 4, while users must turn the improper fraction into a proper fraction in order to place it on the number...

Compare two fractions that have the same numerator using greater and less than symbols. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints....

Compare two fractions based on the whole that each one refers to. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints. CCSS.Math.Content.3.NF.A.2.b Represent a fraction...

Sal compares fractions by graphing them a number line and drawing fraction models.
