Fraction Strips Printable With Questions

About this worksheet

A free printable color fraction strips chart (a fraction wall) from 1 whole to twelfths, with 8 questions underneath: how many eighths make a half, which is bigger, and equal fractions. Answer key included. 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.

On this sheet

Use the fraction strips to answer. How many 1/4 pieces make 1 whole? Which is smaller, 1/8 or 1/10? Which is bigger, 1/5 or 1/6? How many 1/8 pieces make 1/2? How many 1/6 pieces make 2/3?...

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.
