Grade 3 Fractions worksheet
from Gradelings · Name: ______________________
How to explain it
- The bottom number says how many equal parts make a whole.
- The top number says how many parts we have.
- With the same bottom number, the bigger top number is more.
Example: A pie has 4 equal slices. Amir eats 1. What fraction did he eat? The whole is 4 equal parts. He ate 1 part, so 1/4. Answer: 1/4
Question 1
What fraction of the counters are blue?
🔴🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵- 1/6
- 5/8
- 5/7
- 5/6
5/6
Hint: There are 6 counters in all, so the bottom number is 6. 5 of them are blue: 5/6.
Question 2
Which is bigger: 1/3 or 1/6?
- 1/3
- 1/6
- They are the same
1/3
Hint: The more parts a whole is cut into, the smaller each part. 1/3 has the fewest parts, so its part is the biggest.
Question 3
A pizza is cut into 6 equal slices. Priya eats 2 slices. What fraction of the pizza did Priya eat?
🍕6 slicesanswer box
2/6
Hint: The pizza has 6 equal slices, and Priya eats 2 of them: 2/6.
Question 4
In 3/5, what does the 5 tell you?
- How many equal parts make the whole
- How many wholes there are
- How many of the parts are shaded
How many equal parts make the whole
Hint: The bottom number (denominator) tells how many equal parts the whole is cut into. The top number (numerator) tells how many of those parts we are counting.
Question 5
Which is more: 1/4 or 2/4?
- They are the same
- 2/4
- 1/4
2/4
Hint: The parts are all the same size (fourths). 2 parts is more than 1 part.
Question 6
What fraction is shaded? Type it like 1/2.
answer box
2/3
Hint: Count the shaded parts for the top number (2) and all the equal parts for the bottom number (3): 2/3.
Question 7
What fraction is shaded?
- 2/3
- 1/2
- 1/3
- 1/4
1/3
Hint: The top number counts the shaded parts (1). The bottom number counts all the equal parts (3). So it's 1/3.
Question 8
What fraction of the balls are basketballs?
⚽⚽🏀- 1/2
- 2/3
- 1/3
- 1/4
1/3
