Mathematics

Compare Decimals and Fractions is a free printable Grade 4 mathematics worksheet with 10 multiple-choice questions and a complete answer key. It builds foundational understanding of decimal and fraction vocabulary, including tenths, hundredths, equivalent fractions, and equivalent decimals. Students also convert between tenths or hundredths and decimal notation, subtract fractions with like denominators, compare decimals using greater-than, less-than, or equal-to symbols, and arrange decimals from greatest to least. The questions help teachers check whether students understand place value and can connect fractional and decimal representations, such as recognizing that 4/10 equals 0.4 and 0.09 equals 9/100. Use this worksheet for independent practice, review, or a quick Grade 4 skills check.

FAQs

What does the Compare Decimals and Fractions worksheet cover?

This Grade 4 mathematics worksheet uses 10 multiple-choice questions to practise decimal and fraction vocabulary, equivalent forms, fraction subtraction with like denominators, decimal-fraction conversions, decimal comparisons, and ordering decimals from greatest to least. Students apply place-value understanding to identify relationships such as 0.3 > 0.28, 4/10 = 0.4, and 0.09 = 9/100.

How can I use this worksheet to teach comparing decimals and fractions?

Introduce tenths and hundredths with place-value models, then have students explain how a fraction such as 4/10 corresponds to 0.4 before completing the multiple-choice items. After students work independently, discuss why adding a zero can create an equivalent decimal and ask them to justify comparison symbols and greatest-to-least order using place value.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?

Watch for students confusing tenths and hundredths, such as reading 0.09 as 9/10 instead of 9/100, or treating 0.3 as smaller than 0.28 because 28 is greater than 3. Students may also choose incorrect comparison symbols, overlook equivalent forms, or subtract the numerators and denominators when solving 6/10 - 5/10 instead of keeping the like denominator.

How do I assign and grade this worksheet?

You can assign Compare Decimals and Fractions as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground. The worksheet includes a complete answer key, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format also gives schools an option for reducing screen time.

How can I differentiate this decimals and fractions worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet's Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size so the multiple-choice questions and answer options are easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those changes support access to the decimal-fraction vocabulary and comparison tasks.
