Comparing fractions worksheets

Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

If the bottom numbers match, the bigger top wins. If the top numbers match, the smaller bottom wins, because fewer cuts means bigger pieces.

Two grades, each its own sheet. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

Print by grade

  1. 3rd grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Comparing fractions worksheets for third grade keep one thing the same in every pair: either the denominators match or the numerators do. That way your child reasons about piece size instead of guessing, writing <, >, or = between each stacked pair.

  2. 4th grade Core grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

    Fourth grade removes the guardrails: any two fractions can land in a pair. Your child compares by making common denominators, cross-multiplying, or checking against the benchmark 1/2, whichever route is fastest, and writes <, >, or =.
