Instructions: Fractions describe equal parts of a whole. Work through the activities in order: look for equal parts, then find fractions of shapes, lengths and amounts. You can use the examples to help you, and write each answer in its box.

Meet the Fractions

Read each fraction aloud. The bottom number tells you how many equal parts make the whole; the top number tells you how many parts to count. Write the fraction name or symbol asked for in the box.

Example: 1 out of 4 equal parts is one quarter, written 1/4.

1. One out of 3 equal parts is called ___.

2. One out of 4 equal parts is called ___.

3. Two out of 4 equal parts is written ___.

4. Three out of 4 equal parts is written ___.

Fractions of Shapes

Imagine each shape is split into the same number of equal parts. Write the fraction that names the shaded parts. The shaded parts are shown first; the remaining parts are unshaded.

1. A shape has 3 equal parts. 1 part is shaded. What fraction is shaded?

2. A shape has 4 equal parts. 1 part is shaded. What fraction is shaded?

3. A shape has 4 equal parts. 2 parts are shaded. What fraction is shaded?

4. A shape has 4 equal parts. 3 parts are shaded. What fraction is shaded?

Fractions of a Length

Each strip is divided into equal-length parts. Count the total parts, then count how many parts are included. Write the fraction of the whole length.

1. A strip is split into 3 equal lengths. 1 length is coloured. What fraction is coloured?

2. A strip is split into 4 equal lengths. 1 length is coloured. What fraction is coloured?

3. A strip is split into 4 equal lengths. 2 lengths are coloured. What fraction is coloured?

4. A strip is split into 4 equal lengths. 3 lengths are coloured. What fraction is coloured?

Find a Fraction of a Set

For each question, the objects are shared equally into the number of groups shown by the bottom number. Find how many objects are in the requested number of groups. Write the answer in the box.

Example: 1/2 of 6 = 3, because 6 shared equally into 2 groups gives 3 in each group.

1. 1/2 of 8 =

2. 1/3 of 9 =

3. 1/4 of 12 =

4. 2/4 of 12 =

5. 3/4 of 12 =

Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent fractions name the same amount. Use the example to help: half of a whole is the same amount as two quarters. Fill each box with 1/2 or 2/4.

Example: 1/2 = 2/4

1. ___ is equivalent to 2/4.

2. 1/2 is equivalent to ___.

3. Which is the same amount as 1/2: 1/4 or 2/4?

4. Which is the same amount as 2/4: 1/2 or 3/4?
