A four-part 3rd grade fractions sheet using only the denominators the Common Core standards name for 3rd grade: 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8. Children name shaded fractions, shade fractions themselves, compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator, and find simple equivalent fractions like 1/2 = 2/4.
The comparisons follow the 3rd grade rule of thumb: same denominator, compare the tops; same numerator, the bigger bottom means smaller pieces. Bars and circles keep it visual. For more, try comparing fractions with fraction strips, or the full 3rd grade math review.
Tips for using it
- Same numerator: more pieces means smaller pieces, so 1/8 is less than 1/4.
- Fold paper strips into halves, fourths and eighths to see equivalence.
