Fractions - Comparing - 3 Methods - Grade 3

This document provides three methods for comparing fractions: 1) The shading method, which involves shading portions of circles to represent fractions and compare their sizes visually. 2) The equivalent fraction method, which involves writing fractions with a common denominator to compare their numerators. 3) The cross multiplication method, which involves multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other and comparing the results. Worksheets with fraction pairs to compare are provided as examples for each method.
