Using a Fraction Wall - Comparing Fractions WORKSHEET
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.
Using a Fraction Wall - Comparing Fractions WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet is designed to help learners understand and compare fractions using a fraction wall.
It includes a visual representation of fractions, where each row represents a whole divided into different numbers of equal parts, illustrating fractions from 1/2 to 1/12.
In Section A, students use inequality symbols to compare the sizes of 17 pairs of fractions across three questions that increase in difficulty. Section B focuses on identifying which fraction in each pair is closest to 1/2, with options like 3/4 versus 2/3.
