Comparing Fractions With Pattern Blocks

Using pattern blocks is a simple way to compare fractions visually. The yellow hexagon represents 1 whole unit, so the green triangle represents 1/6 of the yellow hexagon. Students are asked to use different colored pattern blocks - green, red, blue - to represent fractions and compare which fraction is greater, such as whether 1/6 (green) or 1/4 (blue) is a larger portion of the whole (yellow hexagon).

Comparing Fractions Using Pattern Blocks

Pattern Shapes Tool

Using pattern blocks is a simple way of comparing fractions. We are going to


let the yellow hexagon pattern block represent 1 whole. That means that the
green pattern block is 1/6 of the yellow block.
1. Use the yellow, red, blue and green pattern blocks to compare each
fraction.
2. If the yellow block is 1 unit then what fraction is represented by the
blue block?
3. If the yellow block is 1 unit, then what fraction is represented by the
red block?
4. Underline the fraction in each pair that is greater.
