In this lesson, children use their knowledge of equivalent fractions to compare fractions where the denominators are the same or one is a multiple of the other. They also compare fractions with the same numerator. They can use diagrams to support their comparisons. This lesson includes a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions, as well as 3 sets of extra fluency questions.
