About this worksheet

Groups of pictures, like "What fraction are fish?" Write the fraction of the group.

What kids practice

A fraction names equal parts of a whole. In 3/4, the bottom number (the denominator) says the whole is cut into 4 equal parts, and the top number (the numerator) says how many of those parts we have. Third graders work with halves, thirds, fourths, sixths and eighths. They see fractions as parts of shapes, parts of a group and points on a number line.

Watch for

  • Counting the unshaded parts instead of all the parts for the bottom number.
  • Thinking a bigger bottom number means a bigger piece. 1/8 is smaller than 1/2.
  • Counting the tick marks instead of the spaces on a number line.

It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full understanding fractions guide for 3rd grade.
