In the 10 worksheets included, students practice identifying fractions, drawing fractions, shading in fractions, partitioning shapes, identifying the unshaded part of a whole, and use fraction strips two different ways.
✅ 4 IDENTIFYING FRACTIONS ERROR ANALYSIS PAGES
Students look at four different work samples and decide which pages are right and which are wrong based on what is shown. These are perfect for math talk or whole group discussions. The error analysis pages help with evaluating common third grade math mistakes.
✅FRACTION SCAVENGER HUNT

✅IDENTIFY FRACTIONS MATH SORT
This is a sorting activity where students put a smile or a frown emoji on top of each task card. If the fraction is correct, a happy smile is put on top of it. If the wrong fraction was used, the students put a frown on top of the task card. There are 2 versions included: identifying fractions with pictures and identifying fractions using fraction strips. 48 cards are included in each game.
✅FRACTION FOOD
The fraction game includes 24 playing cards and 24 chance cards. Each time the students answer a fraction playing card, they get to complete a chance card. The chance cards range from giving someone a high-five to doing a quick exercise in the classroom. It's a great game to help students practice fractions while getting them up and moving at the same time!
✅ GAME #1: IDENTIFY FRACTIONS RACING GAME
This game is called "Line Them Up!". In the game, students race to see which team can line their cards up in the correct order first. Here are the steps to play. Mix up each set of cards well. Give a set of cards to each team. Start the race. Students find the START card first. They put this down. Once the start card is found, students find the answer to the equation. They continue to “Line Them Up” until they reach the FINISH card. The first team done wins!
✅ GAME #2: PARTITION SHAPES RACING GAME
This game is called "Line Them Up!". In the game, students race to see which team can line their cards up in the correct order first. Here are the steps to play. Mix up each set of cards well.

✅ GAME #3: IDENTIFY FRACTIONS WHOLE CLASS GAME
I call this game "Bucket Filler!". Set up the task cards all around the room for students. Print enough of each task card for every student. Give each student a recording sheet. Let students wander the room and solve each task card. When they solve a card, they bring it to the teacher to be checked. If it's correct, they get to drop the task card in a bucket. At the end of gameplay, the teacher draws names out of the bucket. Those students earn a small prize as a reward (an eraser, a pencil, etc).
✅ GAME #4: BUILD AN ICE CREAM SUNDAE GAME
Each player gets a background to build their ice cream sundae on. Playing cards and sundae pieces go in the middle. Each time you get an answer correct, you earn a piece for your sundae.

Give a set of cards to each team. Start the race. Students find the START card first. They put this down. Once the start card is found, students find the answer to the equation. They continue to “Line Them Up” until they reach the FINISH card. The first team done wins!

- TEKS 3.3B: determine the corresponding fraction greater than zero and less than or equal to one with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 given a specified point on a number line
- TEKS 3.3C: explain that the unit fraction 1/b represents the quantity formed by one part of a whole that has been partitioned into b equal parts where b is a non-zero whole number
- TEKS 3.3F: represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using a variety of objects and pictorial models, including number lines
- TEKS 3.3G: explain that two fractions are equivalent if and only if they are both represented by the same point on the number line or represent the same portion of a same size whole for an area model
- TEKS 3.3H: compare two fractions having the same numerator or denominator in problems by reasoning about their sizes and justifying the conclusion using symbols, words, objects, and pictorial models
