Comparing Fraction Math Activity

This Comparing Fractions Math Activity includes printable worksheets for elementary students, most appropriate for grades 3 to 5. The pages focus on helping students compare fractions by identifying which fraction is greater than, less than, or equal to another. Students work with visual models and number representations to support understanding of fraction size and value rather than relying only on memorization.

The worksheets may be used during a fraction unit or as extra practice after introducing comparison strategies. Students compare fractions using symbols, shading, or reasoning based on denominators and numerators. The activities can be completed independently, with a partner, or in small groups depending on classroom needs. Teachers may also choose to use the pages as review work or quiet practice during math time.
