What a question looks like
Example questionCompare 3/5 and 5/11. Write <, > or =.
Answer: >
- Cross-multiply: 3 × 11 = 33; 5 × 5 = 25.
- 33 > 25, so the fractions have the same relationship.
Use this practice well
Begin with common denominators or common numerators when a learner needs a concrete comparison. For unlike denominators, use a common denominator and then check against the answer key.
What this develops
Compare pairs of fractions using greater than, less than, or equal to.
A mistake to watch for
A larger denominator means smaller pieces when the numerator is held fixed.
Ways to use it
- Practise number sense before operations.
- Discuss two comparison methods.
- Create a short exit ticket.
Scope and limits
Comparison questions are numeric; number-line drawing is not generated.
