What this practice page covers
This comparing like denominator fractions worksheet includes an original practice page and a separate answer page. When fractions refer to equal-sized wholes and have the same denominator, their parts have the same size. Compare the numerators to decide which fraction represents more of that whole.
Work through an example
For 1/4 and 3/4, each piece is a quarter of the same-sized whole. One quarter is less than three quarters, so the correct sign is <. Read the instruction before starting, and use a spare sheet for intermediate working if the answer space is not enough.
Review the method as well as the answer
Read the finished comparison aloud to check the sign direction. These examples do not teach the different-denominator case, so avoid extending the numerator-only shortcut to pairs with different denominators. Try the exercise page before opening the key. When an answer differs, compare the steps and correct the specific misunderstanding rather than copying every result. The page is focused practice, not a complete assessment of the wider topic.
