This Grade 3 easy worksheet focuses on comparing fractions that share the same denominator. Students study fraction bars, count the shaded pieces, and decide which fraction is greater, less, or equal. They complete sentence corrections, fill-in answers, and true-or-false questions. The practice builds the core rule that when denominators match, the fraction with the larger numerator wins, aligning to CCSS 3.NF.3d.

Comparing Fractions
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
In Grade 3, I said 2/5 is greater than 3/5 because 2 comes first.
Rewrite: In Grade 3, 3/5 is greater than 2/5 because 3 fifths is more than 2 fifths.
2. Fix the sentence:
In Grade 3, I wrote 4/8 is less than 6/8 because 4 is bigger.
Rewrite: In Grade 3, 4/8 is less than 6/8 because 4 eighths is fewer pieces than 6 eighths.
3. Fix the sentence:
In Grade 3, I said 5/6 equals 3/6 because both are sixths.
Rewrite: In Grade 3, 5/6 is greater than 3/6 because 5 sixths is more pieces than 3 sixths.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In Grade 3, compare 3/5 and 2/5. The greater fraction is 3/5.
2. In Grade 3, 4/8 and 6/8 have the same denominator. The smaller fraction is 4/8.
3. In Grade 3, using the fraction bar, 5/6 is greater than 3/6 because 5 pieces are more than 3 pieces.
4. In Grade 3, 7/10 compared to 4/10 gives the symbol > between them.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. In Grade 3, when two fractions have the same denominator, the one with the greater numerator is greater.
True False
2. In Grade 3, 2/6 is greater than 5/6 because 2 is a smaller number.
True False
3. In Grade 3, 4/9 equals 4/9 because the numerator and denominator match in both.
True False
