What does this 3rd grade fractions unit cover?

It introduces fractions as equal parts and unit fractions like 1/4, then places fractions on a number line, writes whole numbers as fractions, finds simple equivalent fractions and compares fractions with the same numerator or denominator. A child should be able to mark 3/4 on a number line.

How does RepeatWatch help with fractions?

Set an A–B loop on one number line example so a child can pause, draw it, then check. Slow a tricky explanation to 0.75×, save each lesson part on keys 1–9, put a Numberock song on Repeat one, and use Stop after N loops.

Frequently asked questions

What fractions do 3rd graders learn?

In the US, 3rd grade (ages 8–9) usually covers halves, thirds, fourths, sixths and eighths, focused on the number line and comparing. Adding fractions comes in 4th grade. Grade levels vary by country and school.

Why use a number line for fractions?

A number line shows that a fraction is a number with its own place between whole numbers, not just a shaded piece of a shape. That makes equivalent fractions and comparing much easier to see.
