Primary 3 Mathematics Quiz - Fractions (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40
Topic: Fractions (Equivalent Fractions, Simplest Form, Compare/Order, Add/Subtract Related Fractions, Fraction of a Set)

Section A Answers (1 mark each)

1. $\frac{2}{4}$
Teaching: Equivalent fractions have the same value. Multiply numerator and denominator of $\frac{1}{2}$ by 2 → $\frac{2}{4}$. Common mistake: picking $\frac{2}{3}$ because it "looks bigger".

2. $\frac{1}{2}$
Teaching: Divide numerator and denominator by common factor 4: $4÷4=1$, $8÷4=2$.

3. $>$
Teaching: With same numerator (1), the fraction with smaller denominator is larger. So $\frac{1}{3} > \frac{1}{4}$.

4. 4
Teaching: $5 × 2 = 10$, so multiply numerator $2 × 2 = 4$.

5. $\frac{3}{6}$
Teaching: Same denominator, compare numerators: 3 > 2.

6. $\frac{2}{3}$
Teaching: Divide by 3: $6÷3=2$, $9÷3=3$.

7. 12
Teaching: $1 × 3 = 3$, so $4 × 3 = 12$.

8. $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{2}$
Teaching: Smaller denominator = larger piece when numerator is 1. So order by denominator increasing: 5, 3, 2.

9. $\frac{1}{4}$
Teaching: 1 out of 4 equal parts shaded. Image must show 4 equal boxes, 1 shaded.

10. 9
Teaching: $4 × 3 = 12$, so $3 × 3 = 9$.

Section B Answers (2 marks each)

11. $\frac{2}{6}$ and $\frac{3}{9}$ (any two correct)
Marking: 1 mark each. Teaching: Multiply by 2 and 3.

12. $\frac{1}{2}$
Working: $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}$, $\frac{2}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$.
Marking: 1 mark conversion, 1 mark final.

13. $\frac{1}{4}$
Working: $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}$, $\frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$.
Marking: 1 mark conversion, 1 mark answer.

14. 4 children
Working: $\frac{1}{3} × 12 = 12 ÷ 3 = 4$.
Marking: 1 mark method, 1 mark answer.

15. $\frac{5}{8}$
Working: Siti 2/8, Ali 3/8, total $2+3=5$ slices → $\frac{5}{8}$.
Marking: 1 mark slices added, 1 mark fraction.

16. $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{5}{6}$
Working: Common denominator 6: $\frac{3}{6}, \frac{4}{6}, \frac{5}{6}$.
Marking: 1 mark convert, 1 mark order.

Section C Answers (3 marks each)

17. 10 cupcakes
Working: Neighbours: $\frac{1}{4} × 24 = 6$. Colleagues: $\frac{1}{6} × 24 = 4$. Total: $6+4=10$.
Marking: 1m each fraction, 1m total.

18. 14 students
Working: Posters: $30 ÷ 5 = 6$. Models: $30 ÷ 3 = 10$. Drawings: $30 - 6 - 10 = 14$.
Marking: 1m each group, 1m rest.

19. $\frac{5}{12}$
Working: Faizah $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{12}$, Weiling $\frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12}$. Used $\frac{7}{12}$. Left: $1 - \frac{7}{12} = \frac{5}{12}$.
Marking: 1m convert, 1m used, 1m left.

20. 7 children
Working: Musical chairs: $\frac{2}{5} × 20 = 8$. Pass-parcel: $\frac{1}{4} × 20 = 5$. Hide-seek: $20 - 8 - 5 = 7$.
Marking: 1m each, 1m answer.
