For primary school teachers seeking to enhance their pupils' understanding of fractions, there is a range of worksheets available focusing on comparing and ordering fractions. These worksheets are designed to help students grasp the concept of fraction sizes and their relative values by using the greater than, less than, and equal to signs. Some worksheets provide visual aids where students can shade in diagrams to assist with comparison, while others encourage drawing diagrams to visualize the fractions. These exercises are crucial in developing a student's ability to analyze and comprehend the magnitude of different fractions.

Additionally, there are worksheets tailored to ordering fractions, either on a number line or by converting them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. This helps students to see the clear progression from smallest to largest fractions and vice versa. To add a practical element to the learning process, word problems are included, challenging students to apply their knowledge to real-life scenarios, such as sharing chocolate bars or spending money. These activities not only test a student's understanding of fractions but also their ability to solve problems and reason mathematically. For those looking to assess or reinforce learning, answer sheets are also provided, ensuring that both teachers and students can track progress and identify areas that may require further attention.
