      TEKS 3.3G: Fraction Equivalence

      • Explain Equivalent Fractions Using Models

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can explain why two fractions are equivalent using models.

        Focuses On:

        • Understanding the same value, even when the numbers are different
        • Identifying fourths and eighths on a number line partitioned into eighths

        Builds On:

        3.3F:

        Represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using a variety of objects and pictorial models, including number lines

        Next Level:

        4.3C:

        Determine if two given fractions are equivalent using a variety of methods

        Read More:

        This lesson builds on the lessons in 3.3F, where students used models to understand equivalent fractions. At this level, students are expected to explain why two fractions are equivalent.


        This lesson sets the foundation for equivalent fraction understanding in 4th and 5th grade.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do you teach Fraction Equivalence to 3rd graders?

      To teach Fraction Equivalence to 3rd grade Math students, start with concrete, hands-on models, then move to pictorial representations before abstract notation. TEKS 3.3G asks students to 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. Crystal Instruction's free ClearLessons for 3.3G walk through this progression with modeling, guided practice, and built-in checks for understanding, while the ClearSheets provide scaffolded practice. You can download both free on this page.

      What is 3.3G in 3rd grade Math?

      TEKS 3.3G is a 3rd grade Math standard for Fraction Equivalence. It requires students to 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. It is part of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Grade 3 Math.
