- p. 3Compare Unit Fractions. Look at the shaded part of each bar, then write >, <, or = in the box.
- p. 4Shade and Compare. Shade one part of each bar, then write >, <, or = in the box.
- p. 5Compare on a Number Line. Look at where each point is, then write >, <, or = in the box.
- p. 6Same Whole?. Circle yes or no, and if yes, write >, <, or = in the box.
- p. 7Compare Stories. Draw bars to show each story, then compare the fractions.
- p. 14Mixed Review. Read each section, then solve.
The standard
Compare two unit fractions by flexibly using a variety of tools and strategies.
Element 3.NR.4.2 of Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards (2021, effective SY2023-24), in the Numerical Reasoning strand. It sits under standard 3.NR.4: Represent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 in multiple ways within a framework using visual models.
What students practice
Five pages compare two unit fractions with bars, shading, and number lines and record the result with >, <, or =. One page asks first whether both fractions refer to the same whole, since a comparison only works for the same whole. Story problems draw two same-size bars before comparing.
Where to find it
Think: one half of a bar is more than one third of it, so one half > one third.
