🧮 3rd Grade Math STAAR Review | Compare Fractions Task Cards | TEKS 3.3(H)

Strengthen fraction reasoning with these STAAR-style Compare Fractions task cards designed to help students master TEKS 3.3(H): comparing two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their sizes and justifying conclusions using symbols, words, and models.
