Comparing Fractions Worksheet

Students can learn to compare fractions through a variety of strategies and methods. Some common techniques teachers use to teach students how to compare fractions include visual aids such as fraction circles.These fraction models can help students see the relationship between fractions and how they compare to one another.

Teach Starter has created a differentiated worksheet that includes 3 different versions. Each version requires students to compare fractions with like numerators or like denominators.

  • One-star version: Comparing fractions with models and numerical fractions.
  • Two-Star version: Comparing fractions with only models
  • Three-Star version: Comparing fractions with only numerical fractions

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!
