Learners compare three sets of fractions using the greater than, less than, and equal signs. To justify their answers, a drawing is also required that illustrates their reasoning. Including fractions with like and unlike denominators, as...

Elementary mathematicians begin by reading a one-page text that explains how to compare fractions. They solve two problems in which they must circle equal fractions in a set. They then solve four problems where a set of five fractions is...

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...

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...

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.

Ten bales of hay divided into equal parts. Which two bales of hay are equivalent to each other? Here, young mathematicians match equivalent bale of hay fractions to one another.

In this subtracting and comparing fractions word problem activity, students use two recipes to solve and explain the differences. Students solve six word problems.

Hit unlike fractions out of the park in a comparing fractions color by number (symbol) worksheet. Young mathematicians place <, >, or = to make each comparing sentence true. Then, they use a key to color accordingly. When complete,...

For this worksheet on comparing fractions and decimals, fifth and sixth graders compare 40 sets of fractions and decimals using the greater than or less than symbols.

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...

Fractions are a common fear in school, but visualizing them on a number line can help your learners understand their relationship to one another. The activity provides two solutions; use either a number line or a common denominator....

Visual models are a great tool for demonstrating the concept of equivalent fractions. Given two pictures, young mathematicians first identify each fraction and then write an explanation for why they are equivalent. Use as a guided...

What better way to learn about fractions than with a couple pizzas? Help Jessica figure out how much of the pizza she has eaten, while teaching your class that fractions refer to a specific whole amount. This problem will be challenging...

The next lesson in a math series builds off the previous one in which learners estimated fraction amounts using fraction bars. Here, pupils view equivalent fractions with unlike denominators using fraction bars. Lastly,...

In this fractions instructional activity, students solve 6 story problems. Students will need to change fractions have common denominators before comparing them.

Each of these five models represents one of the fractions listed; challenge your scholars to match them up. The models consist of shapes divided into squares with the total number of squares as the denominator and a colored portion as...

Three activities make up an introductory lesson designed to create a strong foundation in comparing fractions to decimals and exploring and building decimal models. Pupils brainstorm and complete a Venn diagram to show how decimals and...

Students are introduced to fractions by completing 2 pages of problems with a pizza theme. They complete a chart where they name the fractional part they see in pizzas, then shade the pizzas to solve 1o word problems.

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

Let's use math to solve an argument. Jon and Charlie are debating about who can run farther, but who is right? That's what your class will figure out as they apply their understanding of fractions to this real-life situation. A simple,...

For this compare and ordering fractions worksheet, students compare fractions and order them from least to greatest. Students compare 6 fractions and order 20 sets of fractions, and answer 4 word problems.

Here is a comparing and ordering fractions learning activity that extends young mathematicians understanding of fractions with like and non-like denominators. By representing and explaining each fraction in a picture or diagram, learners...

This short problem with representing fractions on a number line is more than meets the eye. Labeled only with the numbers zero and 1/4, a number line is used to locate the fraction 2/3. A solution can be found in multiple ways, but young...

Learners solve six word problems where they draw pictures in order to identify fractions as parts of a group or to compare fractions. Great practice for your third and fourth graders.
