Instructional Ideas

• Use the differentiated worksheet with fraction models to give extra support to those that need it
• Complete one of the differentiated sheets as guided practice before giving learners the sheet without visual models

Classroom Considerations

• Comes with two versions of each sheet—one with only numerical fractions, and the other with numerical fractions paired with fraction models for pupils to shade. Worksheets with the models contain only 11 problems, compared to the other with 20 problems
• Learners should know how to use >, <, and = when comparing fractions

Pros

• A great way to introduce the concept of comparing fractions
• Each worksheet comes with an answer key as well as a differentiated version

Cons

• None
