This medium Grade 3 worksheet moves students into writing comparisons with the symbols less than, greater than, and equal to. Learners pick the correct symbol for mixed pairs, including some that are equivalent, while also matching fractions to benchmarks 0, 1/2, and 1. The matching set reinforces that equivalent fractions are equal, while the fill items mix same-denominator and same-numerator reasoning, supporting CCSS 3.NF.3d fluency.
Style:
Comparing Fractions
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In Grade 3, write the symbol between 3/8 and 5/8: 3/8 < 5/8.
2. In Grade 3, write the symbol between 1/2 and 1/6: 1/2 > 1/6.
3. In Grade 3, 2/4 and 1/2 are equivalent, so 2/4 = 1/2.
4. In Grade 3, compare 4/10 to 1/2 using a benchmark. 4/10 < 1/2.
5. In Grade 3, 7/8 is close to the benchmark 1 because only one eighth is missing.
6. In Grade 3, 1/12 is close to the benchmark 0 because it is only one small piece.
7. In Grade 3, 3/6 equals 1/2 because 3 is half of 6, so 3/6 = 1/2.
8. In Grade 3, compare 5/6 and 2/6: 5/6 > 2/6.
9. In Grade 3, compare 2/3 and 2/5: 2/3 > 2/5.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
In Grade 3, 3/4 compared to 1/4
→ greater than (>)
greater than (>)
In Grade 3, 2/8 compared to 2/3
→ less than (<)
less than (<)
In Grade 3, 4/8 compared to 1/2
→ equal to (=)
equal to (=)
In Grade 3, 1/10 compared to the benchmark
→ close to 0
close to 0
