A short, multiple choice assessment that determines your 3rd graders' ability to correctly compare fractions with like denominators. This quiz asks learners to compare two fractions using words, the greater than/less than symbols, and number lines. An improper fraction is included, so be sure your class has experience with these types of fractions. A great way to check for understanding before teaching lessons on comparing fractions with unlike denominators.
