Equivalent Fractions on the Number Line Worksheets 3rd Grade

Fractions that have the same value, called  Equivalent Fractions, can be found at the same point on the number line and is an ideal visual introduction into this topic. 

These printable Worksheets consist of questions containing 2 number lines between 0 and 1. Each number line is divided into a different number of equal parts which students then have to compare and determine the numerical value of the fraction or fractions.  

Worksheet Set 1: One fraction is shown. Students write down the equivalent fraction to the one shown taking into account the number of equal parts on the line.

Worksheet Set 2: Two equivalent fractions are indicated on a number line. Students have to write down the numerical value of each fraction taking into account how each number line has been divided.

How many worksheets are there ?

Lots. At the click of a button all numbers are randomised, allowing you to create as many different worksheets as your students need for classwork, homework, revision, preparing for assessment, fillers etc., and the numbers will change every time.

Answers are on the second page of every worksheet, automatically generated when you create a new worksheet.

Note
These resources are PDF documents and work with the official  Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows or Mac computers with the randomising buttons also working via a touchscreen (PC or Mac)or on an Interactive Whiteboard.

Common Core Standards

CCSS3.NF.A.2
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.

CCSS3.NF.A.2a
Represent a fraction 1/𝘣 on a number line diagram by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into 𝘣 equal parts. Recognize that each part has size 1/𝘣 and that the endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the number 1/𝘣 on the number line.
CCSS3.NF.A.2b
Represent a fraction 𝘢/𝘣 on a number line diagram by marking off 𝘢 lengths 1/𝘣 from 0. Recognize that the resulting interval has size 𝘢/𝘣 and that its endpoint locates the number 𝘢/𝘣 on the number line.

CCSS3.NF.A.3a
Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or the same point on a number line.
