Comparing Fractions Clash POWERPOINT is an interactive and engaging way to help students practise comparing fractions using greater than, less than and equal to symbols. With 20 visual fraction pairings and instant feedback, this resource is perfect for building confidence and fluency with fraction comparison.

Each slide features a pair of fractions presented side by side. Students must choose the correct comparison symbol to complete the number sentence. To succeed, they’ll draw on their knowledge of equivalent fractions and related denominators to determine whether one fraction is larger, smaller, or equal to the other.

This PowerPoint is ideal for whole-class warm-ups or wrap-up sessions, and works equally well in small group instruction. You can ask students to record their comparisons in their maths books or use mini whiteboards to show their answers before revealing the correct response.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Compare two fractions using the symbols <, >, and =
• ✅ Use knowledge of equivalent fractions to determine relative size
• ✅ Practise comparing fractions with related denominators
• ✅ Build confidence in choosing and applying comparative symbols
• ✅ Strengthen fraction reasoning through repeated visual examples

What’s Included:

• Interactive PowerPoint presentation with:
  • - 20 fraction pair slides
  • - Visual fraction models to support reasoning
  • - Three clickable comparison symbols on each slide (<, >, =)
  • - Immediate feedback after each selection

Materials Needed:

• PowerPoint-compatible device with slideshow mode enabled
• Interactive whiteboard, projector or classroom screen
• Optional: student whiteboards or maths notebooks for recording answers

How to Use:

1. Open the PowerPoint and enter slideshow mode.
2. Display each fraction pair to the class or small group.
3. Ask students to decide whether the left fraction is less than, greater than, or equal to the right.
4. Click on the comparison symbol they believe is correct and reveal instant feedback.
5. Repeat through all 20 slides to build understanding and accuracy.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use as a warm-up at the start of your fractions lesson
• 💡 Incorporate into a small group rotation for targeted practise
• 💡 Have students write the number sentence in their books before revealing the answer
• 💡 Encourage discussion and reasoning when incorrect answers are selected
• 💡 Turn into a team game by awarding points for correct answers and explanations

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Review equivalent fractions with visual models before playing
• 💛 Display a comparison symbol poster or anchor chart during the activity
• 💛 Use a think-pair-share structure for students to explain their choices aloud
• 💛 Ask early finishers to create their own fraction comparisons for a peer to solve
• 💛 Reinforce language like “greater than,” “less than,” and “equal to” throughout

Comparing Fractions Clash POWERPOINT makes fraction comparison meaningful, visual and fun. With clear models, interactive symbols and instant feedback, this resource builds solid understanding of how fractions relate—one comparison at a time!
