About this worksheet

Short stories comparing fractions of the same size pizza, pie, garden and more.

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, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full equivalent and comparing fractions guide for 3rd grade.
