Fraction Magnitude: Comparing Fractions

With Different Denominators
Objective: Given two fractions, compare them using greater than (>), less than (<),
or equal to (=). Write the fractions with a common denominator when necessary.

Note: If the student struggles with this worksheet, try the Scaffolded Fraction
Magnitude Worksheet.

Directions:
1. Look at the two fractions. Can you compare them or do you need to find a
common denominator?
2. Multiply to find a common denominator, if necessary.
3. Compare the fractions using the greater than (>), less than (<), or equal to (=) symbol.
4. Check your work with the fraction tiles.
a. If your answer is correct, draw a check mark and move to the next problem.
b. If your answer is incorrect, go back and fix your work.

Converting Mixed Numbers
and Improper Fractions
Objective: Determine whether a fraction is an improper fraction or a mixed number. Use
fraction circles to represent and convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers.

Steps:
1. Look at the fraction. Is it an improper fraction or a mixed number?
2. Write the fraction in the correct column (either improper fraction or mixed number).
3. Use fraction circles to help convert the improper fraction or mixed number to its
equivalent form.
