Compare Fractions Less Than 1 WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 4th Grade
CCSS: 4.NF.A.2
CCSS Description: Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
Compare Fractions Less Than 1 WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Compare Fractions less than 1 uses bar models to aid students in deciding which fraction from a pair is the largest and equivalent fractions to use inequalities to compare fractions.
In section A, students will color in bar models to compare the size fractions. Section B begins with an example showing students how to use equivalent fractions to compare. Scaffolding is provided for the first four questions; the denominator of the equivalent fraction is given. Throughout section B, one denominator is always a factor of the other.
