Fraction Sorting Challenges

Here are three versions of the fractions sorting activity. They can be used in different ways, by individuals or groups and with different levels of support (calculator, fraction wall chart etc).

Vinculum is an online challenge for students in which they have to find a series of fractions each larger than the precious fraction but less than one.

Fractions can be compared by considering the meaning of the numerator and denominator values. A Fraction Wall may help. Alternatively the fractions could be converted to decimals for easier sorting with the help of the Decimals Line.

There are many more fraction activities, visual aids and lesson starters on our Fractions topic page.
