Fractions - Grade 3 Math Worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s go through each fraction comparison one by one. We’ll use simple rules:

- If the denominators (bottom numbers) are the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator (top number) is larger.
- If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger (because you’re splitting into fewer pieces — so each piece is bigger).
- If both are different, we can think about what they mean or find a common way to compare them.

Row 1:

2/4 ○ 1/4 → Same denominator. 2 > 1 → 2/4 > 1/4

3/4 ○ 1/4 → Same denominator. 3 > 1 → 3/4 > 1/4

---

Row 2:

2/5 ○ 1/5 → Same denominator. 2 > 1 → 2/5 > 1/5

1/3 ○ 1/5 → Same numerator. 3 < 5 → So 1/3 is bigger → 1/3 > 1/5

2/6 ○ 5/6 → Same denominator. 2 < 5 → 2/6 < 5/6

---

Row 3:

1/8 ○ 2/8 → Same denominator. 1 < 2 → 1/8 < 2/8

1/2 ○ 1/3 → Same numerator. 2 < 3 → So 1/2 is bigger → 1/2 > 1/3

1/6 ○ 1/5 → Same numerator. 6 > 5 → So 1/6 is smaller → 1/6 < 1/5

---

Row 4:

3/5 ○ 3/10 → Same numerator. 5 < 10 → So 3/5 is bigger → 3/5 > 3/10

2/7 ○ 2/6 → Same numerator. 7 > 6 → So 2/7 is smaller → 2/7 < 2/6

1/3 ○ 1/8 → Same numerator. 3 < 8 → So 1/3 is bigger → 1/3 > 1/8

---

Row 5:

2/5 ○ 2/6 → Same numerator. 5 < 6 → So 2/5 is bigger → 2/5 > 2/6

1/4 ○ 1/4 → Exactly the same → 1/4 = 1/4

3/7 ○ 3/5 → Same numerator. 7 > 5 → So 3/7 is smaller → 3/7 < 3/5

---

Row 6:

1/8 ○ 1/3 → Same numerator. 8 > 3 → So 1/8 is smaller → 1/8 < 1/3

7/9 ○ 5/9 → Same denominator. 7 > 5 → 7/9 > 5/9

2/3 ○ 2/2 → 2/2 = 1 whole. 2/3 is less than 1 → 2/3 < 2/2

---

Row 7:

2/3 ○ 0/3 → 0/3 = 0. 2/3 is more than 0 → 2/3 > 0/3

1/5 ○ 1/2 → Same numerator. 5 > 2 → So 1/5 is smaller → 1/5 < 1/2

2/6 ○ 2/3 → Same numerator. 6 > 3 → So 2/6 is smaller → 2/6 < 2/3

---

Row 8:

1/8 ○ 1/6 → Same numerator. 8 > 6 → So 1/8 is smaller → 1/8 < 1/6

2/5 ○ 2/3 → Same numerator. 5 > 3 → So 2/5 is smaller → 2/5 < 2/3

2/4 ○ 2/8 → Same numerator. 4 < 8 → So 2/4 is bigger → 2/4 > 2/8
