Teachers: To assure that the above standards are understood, always remind, ask and show your students:
Denominators tell the total number of equal pieces in the whole.
Numerators tell how many equal pieces are in the whole.
What do you call the numbers you find between whole numbers? How can you represent (show) them?
Current Standards:
This booklet will focus ONLY on the items in

Computation & Estimation (CE) / Number Operations
3.1 Most questions for grade 3 OAKS in Numbers & Operations (fractions & fraction equivalents) ask students to show how; what fraction is shaded, locating whole numbers and common fractions on a number line and ordering fractions from least to greatest and what fraction of a whole is left after part is removed.
3.1.1
Represent common fractions (e.g., halves, thirds, fourths, tenths) as equal parts of a whole, parts of a set, or points or distances on a number line.
3.1.2
Recognize and demonstrate that sizes of fractional parts are relative to the size of the whole.
3.1.3
Use Fractions to represent numbers that are equal to, less than, or greater than one.

Solve problems that involve comparing and ordering fractions by using models, benchmarks, (0, 1/2 and 1) or common numerators or denominators.
