About this worksheet
To compare two fractions, a fourth grader makes the denominators the same or checks each against 1/2. Each sheet has eighteen pairs of fractions with a line between them, and your child writes >, < or = on the line. Building Confidence uses fractions with the same denominator or the same numerator, On Level uses denominators that go into each other, and Challenge Me uses any two of the grade 4 denominators.
What your child will learn
- Compare fractions with like denominators
- Compare fractions with unlike denominators
- Use >, < and = correctly
Common Core standard: 4.NF.A.2
Worked example
3/4 > 5/8, because 3/4 = 6/8 and 6/8 is more than 5/8.
Common mistake
Thinking a bigger denominator makes a bigger fraction, so 1/8 looks bigger than 1/4.
Helpful hint
Make the bottom numbers the same, or ask whether each fraction is more or less than one half.
