Skills Covered

  • Unit fractions: one of the equal parts
  • Fractions in numbers and in words
  • Parts with the same area
  • Unit fractions on a number line
  • Name and place fractions on a number line
  • Fractions of a set
  • Share things equally
  • Fractions greater than 1 as mixed numbers
  • A fraction as a sum of unit fractions

How to Use This Pack

Eight exit tickets, one for each lesson of the 3rd grade unit on fractions as numbers, in lesson order. Each page holds one lesson's ticket four times: copy the page, cut on the dashed lines, and seven copies give a class of 28 a ticket each. A ticket takes a few minutes at the end of the lesson. Students answer two short questions, then circle a face beside the lesson's "I can" line to show how sure they feel.

In the Classroom

Hand out the tickets in the last five minutes of the lesson and collect them at the door. Sort them into three piles (got it, almost, not yet) to plan tomorrow's small groups. On the questions where students draw (cutting a rectangle into equal parts, marking a number line), any way that is right counts. Ticket 9.4 (fractions of a set and sharing) is for Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia, ticket 9.7 (fractions greater than 1) for Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia, and ticket 9.8 (sums of unit fractions) for Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia; skip the ones your class does not learn. The unit test is a separate pack.

At Home

Use a ticket as a quick check after practicing a skill together. Fold a paper strip into equal parts, color some of them, and ask your child to name the fraction and say what the top and bottom numbers mean.

Tips for Success

  • Ask "Are the parts equal?" before naming a fraction
  • Count the spaces between marks on a number line, not the marks
  • Keep fraction strips on the desk for the number line tickets
  • Look at the drawing as well as the answer on the cutting questions
  • Keep the tickets for each lesson to see who has caught up

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 3.NF.A.1 Know 1/b is one of b equal parts of a whole, and a/b is a of those parts (denominators 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8).
  • 3.NF.A.2a Mark 1/b on a number line by splitting the space from 0 to 1 into b equal parts; the first part ends at 1/b.
  • 3.NF.A.2b Place a/b on a number line by counting a jumps of size 1/b from 0; where the jumps end is a/b.
  • 3.G.A.2 Divide shapes into parts of equal area and describe each part with a unit fraction, such as 1/6 of the shape.
  • 4.NF.B.3b Break a fraction apart into same-denominator fractions in different ways, like 5/6 = 2/6 + 3/6 = 1/6 + 4/6, and write the equations.
  • 4.NF.B.3c Add and subtract mixed numbers with the same denominator, for example by changing them to fractions or by using properties of operations.
  • 4.NF.B.4a See a fraction a/b as a copies of 1/b, such as 7/3 = 7 × (1/3), and show it with a fraction model.
