Grade 3 Math · Comparing Fractions
Build Grade 3 math skills with five 10-question practice tests on comparing fractions, equivalent fractions, number lines, benchmark fractions, and comparison symbols.
These Grade 3 Math practice tests help students decide whether one fraction is greater than, less than, or equal to another. Students compare numerators and denominators, use equivalent fractions, locate fractions on number lines, and apply benchmark fractions such as \(\frac{1}{2}\) and 1.
Start by checking whether the denominators are the same. If they are, compare the numerators. If the denominators differ, use equivalent fractions, a benchmark such as one-half or 1, or the positions of the fractions on a number line.
