Comparing Fractions Word Problems Worksheet
Three word problems ask students to compare two quantities drawn from everyday situations — math problems completed out of a set, portions of a sandwich and an apple, and sneakers within a ten-pair shoe collection — then draw a picture and record the comparison as an inequality. Each problem provides dedicated space for the drawing and for writing the greater-than or less-than symbol, giving students a visual model to lean on before they commit to the symbolic answer. A second page provides the worked inequality for all three scenarios so the comparisons can be checked. Because there are only three problems, the sheet suits a short guided-practice segment, an independent check, or a quick warm-up once fraction comparison has been introduced.
