Grade 6 comparing is no longer a pair of whole numbers. Ontario expectation B1.3 asks students to compare and order integers, decimal numbers, and fractions. Integers have their own worksheet, with a number line. This printable comparing page is the fraction and decimal half of that expectation. The preview alternates the two. Which is greater, 1/6 or 3/6, is a same-denominator comparison. 1/4 or 1/3, and 1/2 or 3/5, need a common form. The decimals are 0.593 or 0.566, and 0.054 or 0.44, so students cannot trust the number of digits. A last fraction pair, 4/8 or 4/5, looks close until the wholes are the same size. Nothing on the preview asks for a sum.
