Visual Fractions and Equivalent Fractions Worksheets
Use equally divided models to connect a shaded region with its numerator and denominator, then compare equivalent representations.
Where to start
Start by checking that the parts are equal. Ask learners to name all parts and shaded parts separately before matching a fraction to a picture.
A common mistake
The denominator counts all equal parts, not just unshaded parts. A different number of pieces can still represent the same amount.
What to try next
Draw a second model of the same fraction. Move to unlike-denominator arithmetic when equivalence is understood.
Practice in learning order
Select the resource that matches the learner’s current skill. Grade labels are guides; the activity and prerequisite skills matter more than completing every sheet.
