Equivalent and Comparing Fractions Worksheets

Two fractions may be different in appearance but represent an equal amount. This workbook provides the fourth grader with methods of proving equivalence, comparing fractions, and explaining why the change in size of the whole impacts a comparison.

Skills covered

- Create and identify equivalent fractions using strips, scaling, and number lines.

- Compare and sequence fractions using common units or a benchmark of one half.

- Identify situations where the size of the whole is important and calculate fractional lengths given the length of whole.

Have students represent an amount in two different partitionings before multiplying the numerator and denominator. Use the ribbon pages to distinguish between three types of questions: identifying the information needed, knowing which share is bigger, and figuring out a part based on the whole length.
