Fraction Comparison Cards

Compare each pair using <, >, or =. Remember: when the whole is split into the same number of equal parts, more parts means a larger fraction. When the numerators match, fewer equal parts in the whole means larger pieces.

Same-Size Parts

The denominators match, so compare the numerators. Write <, >, or = in each blank.

1.A. Compare 2/8 ____ 5/8. Which fraction is greater?
2.B. Compare 3/6 ____ 4/6. Which fraction is greater?
3.C. Compare 6/10 ____ 2/10. Which fraction is greater?

Same Number of Parts

The numerators match. Think about how many equal pieces make one whole: fewer pieces means each piece is larger.

4.D. Compare 2/5 ____ 2/8. Which fraction is greater?
5.E. Compare 3/4 ____ 3/6. Which fraction is greater?
6.F. Compare 1/3 ____ 1/9. Which fraction is greater?
7.G. Compare 3/4 ____ 3/6. Explain which fraction is greater.

Fraction Card Sort

Use the number line to think about which fraction is farther to the right. Fractions farther right are greater.

8.H. The number line marks 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1. Which is greater: 1/4 or 3/4?
00.250.50.751
  • 1/4
  • 3/4
  • They are equal
9.I. Riley has 4/8 of a paper strip colored. Camila has 3/8 colored. Who colored more of an equal-size strip, and how do you know?
10.J. A fraction card shows 2/6. Choose the card that is greater: 2/9, 2/4, or 1/6. Tell why.
11.K. Make your own comparison card: write two fractions with the same numerator, then use <, >, or = between them. Explain how you decided.
