Comparing and Ordering Fractions — Year 5
Comparing and Ordering Fractions — Year 5
Comparing and Ordering Fractions — Year 5 is a complete one-week mathematics unit that develops accurate comparison strategies and clear mathematical reasoning.
Students learn to check the whole, compare fractions with common parts, use one half as a benchmark, position fractions on a number line, generate equivalent fractions and choose common denominators when needed. The 18-slide editable presentation supports explicit teaching and guided practice.
A two-page Fraction Comparison Toolkit, a three-page Fraction Sort Lab and two full games provide visual and hands-on application. Five two-page worksheet sets build from visual models to more complex ordering and justification tasks, with matching red-answer pages for every student worksheet. The final two-page Fraction Comparison Challenge assessment and five-level rubric support consistent feedback.
