This Grade 3 easy worksheet targets comparing fractions that share the same numerator. Students visualize wholes cut into different numbers of equal pieces and learn that a smaller denominator means bigger pieces. Through corrections, fill-ins, and true-or-false prompts, learners explain why 1/3 is greater than 1/4 and justify other comparisons. It solidifies a foundational Grade 3 idea linked to 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 1/4 is greater than 1/3 because 4 is bigger than 3.
Rewrite: In Grade 3, 1/3 is greater than 1/4 because thirds are bigger pieces than fourths.
2. Fix the sentence:
In Grade 3, I wrote 1/5 is greater than 1/2 because 5 is more than 2.
Rewrite: In Grade 3, 1/2 is greater than 1/5 because halves are bigger pieces than fifths.
3. Fix the sentence:
In Grade 3, I said 2/8 equals 2/3 because both numerators are 2.
Rewrite: In Grade 3, 2/3 is greater than 2/8 because thirds are bigger pieces than eighths.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In Grade 3, between 1/3 and 1/4, the greater fraction is 1/3.
2. In Grade 3, between 1/2 and 1/5, the smaller fraction is 1/5.
3. In Grade 3, 2/3 compared to 2/8 is greater because thirds are bigger than eighths.
4. In Grade 3, with the same numerator 3, the greater fraction between 3/4 and 3/6 is 3/4.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. In Grade 3, when two fractions have the same numerator, the one with the smaller denominator is greater.
True False
2. In Grade 3, 1/8 is greater than 1/2 because 8 is bigger than 2.
True False
3. In Grade 3, 2/5 is greater than 2/10 because fifths are bigger pieces than tenths.
