Eight pairs of fraction bars, each bar the same length with its fraction written underneath. Children look at which shaded part is longer and write the greater than, less than or equal sign in the circle. The pairs follow the third grade standard: the same denominator (3/5 and 4/5), the same numerator (3/4 and 3/5, where fewer, bigger parts win), and pairs that are equal, such as 1/2 and 4/8.
