Ontario's Grade 3 fraction expectation, B1.7, is fair-share work with equivalent fractions from halves, fourths, and eighths. This printable preview is built around reading a fraction, not adding one yet. Students name the shaded part of a figure, identify the denominator of 3/8, and mark a fraction on a number line. They decide which is greater, 4/6 or 1/2, order 1/6, 5/6, and 2/6, and later items on the full sheet ask for a fraction equivalent to 2/3 and for 5/10 in simplest form. Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators is the Grade 6 page.
