Practise specific Fractions skills
What Your Child Will Learn
Grade 3 is a pivotal year for fractions. Students learn to read and write fractions with a numerator and denominator, compare fractions with like denominators, and place fractions on a number line. They understand that fractions represent numbers, not just pieces of pizza.
Students explore equivalent fractions (2/4 = 1/2) using visual models and begin adding and subtracting simple fractions with the same denominator. Real-world contexts — measuring, cooking, and sharing — reinforce that fractions are everywhere.
Skills Covered
- Reading and writing fractions (numerator/denominator)
- Comparing fractions with like denominators
- Placing fractions on a number line
- Identifying simple equivalent fractions
- Adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators
- Solving fraction word problems
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): representing, comparing, and ordering fractions with like denominators.
Parent Tip: Number lines are powerful for fractions — draw one from 0 to 1 and have your child place fractions on it. This builds the crucial idea that fractions are numbers.
What your child will practice
- Fractions to TwelfthsRepresent and compare unit fractions from halves to twelfths using appropriate tools and drawings.

Check my workFrequently Asked Questions
Why do students struggle with fractions?
Fractions require understanding parts of a whole, which is more abstract than counting. Using visual models like fraction bars and number lines helps build intuition.
How can I help my child with fractions at home?
Use real-life examples: cooking (measuring cups), pizza slices, and sharing equally. These concrete experiences make fractions meaningful.
What fraction skills should my child know by grade level?
Grade 3: identifying and comparing simple fractions. Grade 4: equivalent fractions and adding with like denominators. Grade 5-6: all four operations with fractions and mixed numbers.
