A number line makes it easy to see which of two fractions is bigger. This 3rd grade comparing fractions closer to zero worksheet has four items, labelled a to d, and each item shows two number lines, one above the other. A red dot marks one fraction on each line. In items a and d, your child says which fraction is greater, while in items b and c they say which one is less. Item a compares 4/8 and 5/8, and item b compares 2/3 with 2/6. Item c sets 5/8 against 2/4, so the two lines are cut into different parts. Item d uses elevenths, which is a stretch for third grade. A boy with a backpack reads a map in the corner. Page two explains items a and b, then it gives the last two answers.
