About this worksheet
A free printable equivalent fractions worksheet with fraction bars for 3rd grade: each top bar shows a fraction, the bar below is cut into more pieces, and kids shade the same amount to find the equal fraction. Six problems with a shaded answer key. Third graders can use it for practice, review or a quick check before a test. Shade the parts lightly with a colored pencil to see each fraction.
Tips for using it
- Fold a strip of paper into equal parts to check a tricky one.
- Before naming a fraction, have the child count all the parts and write the denominator first, then count the shaded parts for the numerator; most errors come from doing it the other way.
- On the number line sheet, count the gaps between 0 and 1, not the tick marks; seven ticks make eight gaps, so the dot is in eighths.
- To compare fractions with the same numerator, remind kids that more pieces means smaller pieces: 1/6 is less than 1/4.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
