Fraction Sort Game Comparing Fractions

.

Play independently or in groups.

Simply cut out all fraction cards, shuffle them, and put them in a pile.

Students can choose to sort in a variety of ways:

✓They can sort comparing fractions to 1/2 : Place the 3 header cards (less than ½, exactly ½, and greater than ½ next to each other and have students sort this way. They can take turns picking fraction cards and sorting.

✓ They can sort sorting fractions into whole numbers or not whole numbers: Use the same fraction cards with the header cards “a whole number” and “not a whole number”.

✓ They can sort by comparing fractions to 3/5 : Use the header cards “less than or equal to 3/5 “ and “ greater than 3/5”. Students sort comparing fractions to 3/5

Print fraction cards and header cards on card stock and laminate for durability. I provided the header cards with a colorful background and without it to save you money on ink. You can print those on colored card stock instead.
