Grade 3 Fraction Worksheets: Name, Compare, and Place Fractions on a Number Line

These Grade 3 fraction worksheets move from equal parts to naming, placing, and comparing fractions. On the naming pages a child looks at a shaded shape and writes the fraction, or shades a shape to match a fraction that is given. Number-line pages ask the child to mark where a fraction sits between zero and one, which builds the idea that a fraction is a number with its own place. Other sheets pair fractions that name the same amount so the child meets equivalent fractions, and comparison pages ask which of two fractions is bigger. A final group works backward from a part to find the whole. Writing a fraction, locating it on a number line, spotting equivalents, and comparing sizes are exactly the third-grade fraction skills these pages cover. The diagrams and number lines stay roomy, so a child can count the parts, mark the line carefully, and check each answer without any rush.

This set reads and writes fractions, then puts them in order. A child names the shaded part, marks a fraction on a number line, decides whether two fractions are equal, and circles the larger of a pair. The shapes and lines are clear, and the steps are short, so the move from equal pieces to fractions as numbers happens one careful page at a time.

Once your child can name fractions and compare them, you can print more of these fraction worksheets as a PDF and keep practising on paper. It is all free, with no sign-up and no account, and there are no timers or scores to hurry a careful count of the parts. A wrong answer is simply a reason to look at the shaded shape again.
