Word problems show children why fractions matter in daily life. This 3rd grade fraction of a group stories worksheet has three short stories, numbered 1 to 3, with plenty of room on grid paper to work. In item 1, there are 30 children at the park, and one fifth of them ride a roller coaster. Item 2 asks how long Charles naps if he sleeps for one twelfth of a 24-hour day. In item 3, Sheldon gives one half of his 68 marbles to his younger brother, Walters. A knight on a rocking horse and a baby under a tree house decorate the page. Page two lists the facts for each story, works out the sum and ends with a full answer sentence.
