Comparing and Ordering Fractions foundation worksheet

Comparing and Ordering Fractions

In these three worksheets, children build on their knowledge of ordering a set of three or more fractions. If equivalent fractions are needed, then one denominator will be a multiple of the other or others. Bar models, fraction walls and number lines will still be useful to help children to see the relative sizes of the fractions, especially when conversions are needed. Children should look at the set of fractions as a whole before deciding their approach, as comparing numerators could still be a better strategy for some sets of fractions.
