Fair Comparisons Worksheet for Kids

Critical thinking lesson 16: Fair comparisons · Set 96 · 40 questions

Thinking tip (Compare per day, not the totals): Different amounts of time? Divide: per day, per over, per hour. 40 runs in 5 overs = 8 per over. Fair: both plants got the same water and sun; only the soil was different. Unfair: one plant in the sun, one in a cupboard. Prices: compare per kg — a 2 kg bag for ₹80 is ₹40 a kg, cheaper than a 1 kg bag for ₹45.
