3rd Grade Fractions Lesson (by date, latest first)

Fractions represent the parts of a whole or collection of objects. A fraction has two parts. The number on the top of the line is called the numerator. It tells how many equal parts of the whole or collection are taken.  The number below the line is called the denominator.  It shows the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into or the total number of the same objects in a collection. When the whole is divided into equal parts, the number of parts we take makes up a fraction. If a cake is divided into eight equal pieces and one piece of the cake is placed on a plate, then each plate is said to have 1/8 of the cake.

This ebook is an gradual and easy introduction to fractions. It is designed especially for Grade 3. There re many colourful activities included, and their answers are provided at the end.

Our third graders need a lot of practice working with fractions to help master concepts such as: introduction to fractions, fractions on a number line, fraction word problems, fractions greater than 1 whole, comparing unit fractions, and comparing fractions.. This BUNDLE includes a variety of fraction math activities, no prep worksheets and PowerPoint lessons to help master these concepts.

Does your math curriculum move too quickly and not provide students with enough practice for mastering concepts around fractions? Are you looking for more practice worksheets and activities for your third graders? These no-prep math fraction activities are just what your third graders need to master these skills.

Common Core Alignment

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.3

Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.A.1

Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
