Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Interpret a visual fraction model by coloring the fractional amount it shows
Compare two pictured fractions by reasoning about their size
Record fraction comparisons using the inequality symbols >, <, and =
Teaching tips
Have students shade both models before writing the symbol — the coloring step is what makes the size comparison visible
Two of the ten pairs resolve to equals, so remind students that = is an allowed answer before they begin
The sheet works as quick independent practice or an exit check after introducing fraction comparison with manipulatives
Skills covered
Visual fraction comparison — students color ten pairs of fraction models and decide which of each pair is larger.
Inequality notation — every comparison is recorded with >, <, or =, matching the checked results on the solutions page.
Fraction equivalence recognition — pairs that shade to the same amount require the equals symbol rather than an inequality.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How do students show their comparisons?
By coloring the two fraction models in each pair and then writing an inequality between them. The ten pairs resolve to a mix of greater-than, less-than, and equals relationships, so students must genuinely compare rather than pattern-guess.
