Comparing Fractions on a Number Line is a Grade 7 mathematics worksheet that gives students 10 multiple-choice questions comparing pairs of fractions. The items include fractions with different numerators and denominators, such as 2/5 and 3/8, 4/7 and 3/5, and 3/4 and 5/6, so students must determine which value is greater rather than rely on whole-number comparisons. Use this free printable worksheet to reinforce fraction-comparison reasoning and check whether students can identify the greater value in a selected-response format. Teachers can introduce number-line models or equivalent-fraction strategies before students work independently, then use the included answer key to review their reasoning. Because item 1 contains a mismatch between its prompt, options, and listed answer, review that item before assigning the worksheet.

This Grade 7 math worksheet contains 10 multiple-choice items in which students compare two fractions and select the greater value. The pairs include fractions with unlike numerators and denominators, so students practise judging fraction magnitude using number-line reasoning, equivalent fractions, or another valid comparison strategy.
Before students answer the 10 multiple-choice questions, model how two fractions can be located on the same number line and compare their positions. Then ask students to explain one selection involving unlike denominators—such as 2/5 and 3/8—using a number line, common denominator, or benchmark fraction rather than guessing from the numerator or denominator alone.
Watch for students deciding that the fraction with the larger denominator is automatically greater, or comparing only the numerators without considering the whole represented by each denominator. Also check the worksheet carefully before grading: item 1 asks students to compare 1/3 and 1/4, but its listed options omit 1/3 and its provided answer marks 1/4, so that item needs correction or clarification.
Wayground provides this worksheet as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for the 10 multiple-choice fraction comparisons. For printable submissions, you can scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade responses; review item 1 separately because its prompt, options, and listed answer do not align.
In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size so the 10 multiple-choice items and fraction notation are easier to read. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language while keeping the fraction-comparison format intact.
