About this worksheet

What students practice

Students compare two fractions with different numerators and denominators using >, =, or <.
Students compare fractions by using 1/2 as a benchmark or by finding a common denominator.
Students explain why fractions can only be compared when they refer to the same whole.

How to use

Remind students that every boat crosses the same lake, so the fractions refer to the same whole. Let students sketch fraction bars when a problem feels tricky.
