Worksheets for comparing fractions with different denominators where students have to find a common denominator to make the comparison.
Comparing Fractions 1: Improper, Same Denominators
Comparing Fractions 2: Denominator Multiples of 2
Comparing Fractions 2: Improper, Unlike Denominators
Comparing Fractions 3: Improper, Unlike Denominators
Comparing Fractions 2: Denominator Multiples of 5
Comparing Fractions 2: 10ths, 20ths, 30ths

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.)
