Curriculum

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.1

Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.2

Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.3.A

Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or the same point on a number line.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.3.B

Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3. Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Math 3.3(A)

Represent fractions greater than zero and less than or equal to one with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using concrete objects and pictorial models, including strip diagrams and number lines;
Math 3.3(B)

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;
Math 3.3(C)

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;
Math 3.3(E)

Solve problems involving partitioning an object or a set of objects among two or more recipients using pictorial representations of fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8;
Math 3.3(F)

Represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using a variety of objects and pictorial models, including number lines;
Math 3.3(G)

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; and

Exit Tickets for Math – 3rd Grade Fractions

Are you looking for a quick and easy way to assess your students’ understanding of different fraction concepts? This downloadable resource covers different standards that are addressed in third grade. Teachers can choose to use the same exit ticket for all of the students in the class as a formative assessment or different tickets can be used to assess students at different stages in their learning journey.

This set of exit tickets comes with 24 different options (each labeled with a letter in the upper right-hand corner). The skills presented in the exit tickets cover the following:

Identifying fractions on a number line
Identifying a fraction of a shape
Plotting fractions on a number line
Drawing models to represent a fraction
Fractions of a set
Partitioning shapes
Equivalent fractions with and without models

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your math lessons.

Use this set of exit tickets to assess a wide range of skills associated with basic fractions.

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:

🆘 Support Struggling Students

If there are students who need support, invite them to reference anchor charts or posters reminding them of different fraction concepts.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

For students who need an additional challenge. Encourage them to create additional equivalent fractions, show the same fraction represented in multiple ways, or create basic addition or subtraction statements with a given fraction.
