Unit 4: Fractions
Mini-Unit 1: Fraction Equivalence & Comparison
Lesson 1.4: Evaluating & Comparing Fractions
This teacher-led small-group activity includes a printable math mat with number lines and fraction shapes, plus 16 editable task cards that guide students as they model fractions, generate equivalent fractions, and compare or order fractions using multiple strategies.
Students will:
• build fraction models using number lines and area shapes
• generate equivalent fractions using multiplication or division
• compare fractions using benchmark values (0, ½, 1)
• order fractions from least to greatest or greatest to least
• explain their mathematical reasoning using visual models
