With this Year 3 Compare Fractions Discussion Problem, your children can answer two in-depth questions that are designed to enhance their reasoning and problem-solving skills through discussion with their peers. Children will need a prior knowledge of equivalent fractions in order to solve these problems. Allow your class to discuss their methods of working and their answers with a partner or small group, which will help them find the best ways of working, and develop their skills in self-correction. We have provided an answer page with this resource, which includes an example answer for each question, though more answers may be possible.

Use our other resources for this lesson, too, as a strong foundation of knowledge is needed to answer these questions.
