About the "Comparing Fractions" Worksheet

Comparing Fractions is an educational worksheet designed to help students practice and reinforce their understanding of fraction comparisons. This interactive and printable worksheet consists of two pages filled with various exercises that challenge students to compare fractions using the symbols <, >, or =. The first page contains six questions, including both numerical comparisons and visual representations of fractions. Students are asked to determine the relationship between given fractions and fill in the appropriate symbol.

The second page of the worksheet continues with two more questions that combine visual and numerical comparisons. In these exercises, students are presented with colored-in fraction representations and are asked to compare them with given numerical fractions. This approach helps students connect visual fraction models with their numerical representations, reinforcing their conceptual understanding. Throughout the worksheet, students are encouraged to think critically about fraction relationships and develop their skills in comparing fractional values.

What will your child learn through this worksheet?

• How to compare fractions using the symbols <, >, and =
