FREE Comparing Fractions Activity

Comparing Fractions Freebie! Penguin Fraction Predictions is a critical thinking activity for partners in which they predict which of two fractions is larger, discuss their responses, and compare fraction bars to check their answers. It works well as an introduction to comparing fractions and will allow you to assess your students’ readiness for the lessons ahead. Penguin Fraction Predictions is a whole group lesson, but it also makes a great math center game or a partner review activity at the end of a fraction unit.

Penguin Fraction Predictions Comparing Fractions is a sample lesson from Penguin Fractions Comparing and Ordering Fractions which includes step-by-step lessons, printables, and activities. If you like this freebie, please take a look at the full product!

This freebie is also available in a version that does not feature penguin clipart called Fraction Predict and Compare. It's available available to my newsletter subscribers when they sign up for Candler's Classroom Connections. You can get your copy by clicking HERE and signing up.

Comparing and Ordering Fractions Bundle (Without Penguins)
The products in the Comparing Fractions Bundle are very similar to the items in the Penguin-Themed Comparing Fractions Bundle. Please decide which version you prefer before purchasing to ensure that you don't purchase both variations. The main difference is this bundle does not include the games and center activities, but I plan to add those soon. If you purchase the entire bundle, you'll get the additional product for free when it's added.
