About this worksheet

What students practice

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

How to use

Use after students can find equivalent fractions. Encourage them to sketch fraction bars of the same length or rename the fractions before they write each symbol.
