Comparing Fractions: Unlike Denominators

Worksheets for comparing fractions with different denominators where students have to find a common denominator to make the comparison.

Instructions

Each comparing fractions worksheet in this section requires the student to find common denominators. Comparing fractions with unlike denominators is a core skill, and these worksheets can help with common problems where students believe larger denominators somehow create larger absolute values of the fractions (which often, the reverse is the case.)
