Colouring Fractions Worksheet

Colourful fraction shapes

🎯 WALT (We Are Learning To)

Today we are learning to:

  • Understand that a fraction is a part of a whole
  • Colour shapes to show halves, quarters, and wholes
  • Recognise fractions in everyday things

📝 Success Criteria

I can:

  • Explain what a fraction is
  • Colour parts of shapes to show fractions
  • Tell the difference between a whole and a part

🧠 What is a Fraction?

A fraction is a part of something whole. Think of a pizza cut into pieces - each piece is a fraction of the whole pizza!

1 whole = the complete shape (all of it)

1/2 (half) = the shape split into 2 equal parts

1/4 (quarter) = the shape split into 4 equal parts

🎨 Part 1: Colour the Fractions

Instructions: Look at each shape and colour the fraction shown. Use your favourite colours!

1. Colour 1/2 (half) of this circle red.

○ (Draw a line down the middle and colour one half red)

2. Colour 1 whole rectangle blue.

▢ (Colour the entire rectangle blue)

3. Colour 1/4 (quarter) of this square green.

▢ (Draw lines to make 4 equal parts and colour one part green)

4. Colour 1/2 (half) of this rectangle yellow.

▢ (Draw a line to make 2 equal parts and colour one part yellow)

5. Which fraction is coloured? Circle your answer:

(Show a circle with half coloured)

1 whole

1/2 (half)

1/4 (quarter)

⭐ Part 2: Challenge Activities

6. Easy Level: Draw a line to split this circle in half. Colour one half purple.

○ (Large circle for students needing extra support)

7. Medium Level: Complete this sentence:

When I eat half a sandwich, I eat _____ out of _____ equal parts.

8. Hard Level - Extension: Draw your own shape and divide it into quarters. Colour 2 quarters.

What fraction did you colour? _____

9. Real Life Fractions! Tick all the things that can be split into fractions:

A chocolate bar

A pizza

An apple

A cake

10. Think and Share: Draw a picture of something from home that your family shares in parts (like food). Show how it can be split into halves or quarters.

🌟 Well Done!

You've learned about fractions as parts of a whole. Remember: fractions are everywhere around us!
