Abstract: A $3$-$tangle$ $T$ is the disjoint union of $3$ properly embedded arcs in the unit 3-ball; it is called rational if there is a homeomorphism of pairs from $(B^3,T)$ to $(D^{2}imesI,x_1,x_2,x_{3}imesI)$. Two rational 3-tangles $T$ and $T^{\prime }$ are isotopic if there is an orientation-preserving self-homeomorphism $h:(B^3,T)ightarrow(B^3,T^{\prime })$ that is the identity map on the boundary. In this paper, we give an algorithm to check whether or not two rational 3-tangles are isotopic by using a modified version of Dehn's method for classifying simple closed curves on surfaces.
