About this chart

Fraction strips from one whole to eighths, lined up to show equal fractions.

What kids practice

Equivalent fractions name the same amount, like 1/2 and 2/4. Third graders find them with fraction strips and number lines. They also compare fractions that have the same bottom number (3/8 and 5/8) or the same top number (2/3 and 2/6), and use <, > and = to show which is bigger. Fractions can only be compared when they are parts of the same size whole.

Watch for

  • Thinking 1/8 is bigger than 1/4 because 8 is bigger than 4.
  • Comparing fractions of wholes that are different sizes.
  • Thinking equivalent fractions must have the same numbers.

It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full equivalent and comparing fractions guide for 3rd grade.
