Fractions - Order Fractions (More Than One) - Worksheet

The 'Order Fractions (More Than One)' worksheet is a comprehensive resource designed to enhance students' skills in comparing and ordering fractions whose denominators are multiples of the same number. The worksheet is aligned with the National Curriculum objective and is suitable for students who are working towards, working within, or achieving greater depth in their understanding of fractions. To facilitate learning, the worksheet provides differentiated sheets and teaching slides, along with key vocabulary such as 'compare', 'order', 'denominator', 'numerator', and 'mixed number'. Students will apply their knowledge of ordering fractions less than 1 to tackle the more complex task of ordering fractions greater than 1, including both improper fractions and mixed numbers.

The worksheet includes a variety of tasks that encourage fluency and precision in handling fractions. Children are tasked with ordering fractions by creating their own bar models where necessary, colouring in models, and using problem-solving skills to find missing fractions. The exercises prompt students to consider the most efficient methods for comparison, whether by numerators or denominators, and to use their understanding of multiples in the process. Reasoning and problem-solving questions further challenge students to find missing digits in a sequence and to determine possible numbers based on given criteria, such as the numerator being an odd number and a multiple of three. The worksheet offers a thorough approach to mastering the ordering of fractions greater than one, with the aim of developing a deeper conceptual understanding and proficiency in mathematics.
