"Comparing Two Fractions Using Equal to, Greater Than, and Less Than Symbols" is a worksheet that asks students to compare two fractions. Sometimes, the two fractions being compared are equal, and sometimes, they aren't. Students have to fill in an equal sign, greater than sign, or less than sign to show the relationship between the two fractions. Each worksheet features 24 pairs of fractions for students to compare.

This worksheet is designed as a foundational fraction activity, so it provides students with a visual at the top of the worksheet. They do not have to create equivalent fractions or draw an image themselves. All the fractions that are being compared on the page are broken down and displayed on a fraction pyramid so students can easily see how they compare to one another.

Knowing equivalent fractions can help students understand how they relate to each other, in addition to making it easier for them to convert fractions when they add, subtract, multiply, or divide.

Asking students to compare two fractions is a great way for them to learn equivalent fractions, especially if you provide them with a visual aid, like a fraction pyramid. Very young students and struggling students could be given fraction pyramids that they can color when comparing fractions so they can see which one is bigger and which one is smaller.

Older students can draw their own visuals when looking for an equivalent fraction. You could also try different shapes. For example, students can find equivalent fractions for circles instead of rectangles in a fraction pyramid.
