These puzzles ask third graders to reason, not just recite. Multiple choice digs into which fraction equals 3/6, why 4/5 beats 4/9, where the sixth mark lands on a number line split into 8 parts, and which pair (2/4 and 3/6, or a tempting decoy) is actually equivalent. Fill-in problems push further: simplifying 4/10 to fifths, comparing 1/3 with 1/6, and recognizing that 5 of 10 ribbon pieces is the same as 1/2.
Number-line thinking shows up too, with 2/3 placed after 1/3 and 8/12 reduced to thirds. Students walk away comfortable moving between equivalent forms.
