Grade 3 students compare fractions visually on a number line in this worksheet. They decide which point is closer to 1 or to 0, use unit fractions to measure distance, and reason about fractions with the same denominator. Fill-in items cover fourths, sixths, eighths, and tenths, and a matching task pairs each question with its closer-to-target fraction. Aligned with CCSS 3.NF.3, this sheet strengthens visual comparison skills and prepares Grade 3 learners for formal fraction comparison using symbols.

Fractions on a Number Line
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Grade 3: between 3/4 and 1/2, the point closer to 1 is 3/4.
2. Grade 3: on an eighths line, the point closer to 1 between 5/8 and 7/8 is 7/8.
3. Grade 3: comparing 2/6 and 5/6, the point closer to 1 is 5/6.
4. Grade 3: between 1/3 and 2/3, the point closer to 0 is 1/3.
5. Grade 3: the fraction on a fourths line that is closer to 1 than 1/2 is 3/4.
6. Grade 3: comparing 4/8 and 6/8, the point closer to 1 is 6/8.
7. Grade 3: on a tenths line, the fraction closer to 1 between 3/10 and 9/10 is 9/10.
8. Grade 3: between 2/4 and 3/4, the point halfway between 0 and 1 is 2/4.
9. Grade 3: using the word closer, we say 7/8 is closer to 1 than 1/8.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Grade 3: Which is closer to 1 — 3/4 or 1/4?
→ 3/4
7/10
Grade 3: Which is closer to 0 — 1/6 or 5/6?
→ 1/6
2/4
Grade 3: Which is halfway — 2/4 or 3/4?
→ 2/4
1/6
Grade 3: Which is closer to 1 — 7/10 or 2/10?
→ 7/10
3/4
