Fraction Foundations Worksheet

Help plan fair portions for a busy food truck. Fractions describe equal parts of one whole. The denominator tells how many equal parts make the whole; the numerator tells how many parts we mean. Show your thinking where you can.

Know your fractions

Use the fraction bar to answer Question 2.

1.In the fraction 3/8, what does the denominator 8 tell you?
  • There are 8 equal parts in the whole.
  • We are talking about 8 parts.
  • The whole has 3 equal parts.
2.The food truck cuts a flatbread into 4 equal pieces and sells 1 piece. Write the fraction sold, then name its numerator and denominator.
3.A tray is divided into 8 equal brownie squares. Three squares are sold. What fraction of the tray is still left?

Compare and order

Use the number line to help with Questions 4–5. Each interval is one eighth.

4.Which fraction is larger: 1/2 or 1/4? Explain using the number line or equal-sized wholes.
5.Put these fractions in order from smallest to largest: 1/8, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4.
6.Tick every fraction equivalent to 1/2: 2/4, 1/4, 4/8, 3/8.
  • 2/4 only
  • 2/4 and 4/8
  • 1/4 and 3/8
  • All four fractions

Add equal parts

When denominators match, add the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

7.The truck serves 1/4 of a tray of savoury scrolls at lunch and 2/4 at dinner. What fraction of the tray is served altogether?
8.A fruit platter is split into 8 equal sections. Customers take 3/8 in the morning and 2/8 in the afternoon. How much is taken altogether?
9.Fill the gap: 3/4 + /4 = 1. What numerator belongs in the gap?

Share it fairly

Finish the challenge with a drawing or clear working.

10.A pack has 12 mini muffins. One quarter of the muffins are blueberry. How many blueberry muffins are there? Show how you worked it out.
11.Two friends share 1 apple equally. What fraction of the apple does each friend get? Draw or describe the equal sharing.
12.Explain why 3/6 and 5/10 name the same amount. Use words or a quick sketch.
