Multiple Choice

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a series of problems where students must choose which mixed number is greater than or less than a given mixed number from a set of four options. Each question provides a target mixed number and asks students to circle the mixed number from the choices that is correctly related to it based on the instruction (greater or less than). The worksheet is structured to enhance the student’s comparison skills with mixed numbers, and it is designed in a multiple-choice format to facilitate quick assessment and understanding of common mistakes if any.

The aim of this worksheet is to teach students how to compare mixed numbers-an essential skill in understanding the relative sizes of fractional quantities that include whole numbers. By presenting the problems in a multiple-choice format, it encourages students to practice mental math and estimation skills, as they may not need to calculate the exact values to compare the numbers. The exercise also serves to reinforce the concepts of greater than and less than in the context of fractions and mixed numbers. Moreover, this format can help teachers easily identify which specific misconceptions students might have, allowing for targeted instruction to correct these misunderstandings.
