3rd Grade Fractions Standards

Fractions present abstract and challenging concepts to elementary and middle school children. Students often
give up trying to understand and resort to memorizing rules.
Difficulties with fractions lead to difficulties with…
•Percentages•Ratios
•Measurement
•Decimals
In order to help students truly learn fractions, we must first teach a deep
understanding of the concept. Then we can teach a skill or procedure.

Four more friends come along. Show all of the different ways you could equally share a pan of brownies between four people. What fraction of the pan would
each person receive?
Which is a larger share? 1/6 or 1/2?Which is a larger fraction?
Fair Shares
sixJamie and Scott decided to share a pan
of brownies. Show all of the different ways you could equally share a pan of brownies between two people. What fraction of the pan would each person
receive?

Top Number (numerator): •This is the counting number. •It counts how many shares or parts we have. •It tells how many have been counted.
Fraction Symbols
Bottom Number (denominator): •This tells what is being counted. •It tell what fractional part is counted. •If the number is 6, we are counting sixths.

Jon and Charlie plan to run together. They argue about how far to run. Charlie says, I run 3/6 of a mile
each day. Jon says, I can only run 1/2 of a mile.
Explain why it is silly for them to argue. Draw a picture or a number line to support your reasoning.
