Equal Parts of Fractions

Fractions describe equal parts of a whole. Remember: the denominator tells how many equal parts make the whole, and the numerator tells how many parts are being counted.

Match and identify

Match each description to its fraction. Use each fraction once.

1.Match each description to the fraction it represents.
  • One of 2 equal parts is shaded.
  • One of 4 equal parts is shaded.
  • One of 3 equal parts is shaded.
  • 1/4
  • 1/2
  • 1/3
2.A strip is split into 5 equal parts. Three parts are shaded. Write the fraction that is shaded.

Make equal parts

Draw the divisions carefully. Every part of a whole must be the same size.

3.Draw a rectangle divided into 4 equal parts. Shade 1/4 of it.
4.Draw a circle split into 3 equal parts. Shade 2/3 of the circle.
5.A rectangle has 6 equal parts. Shade 5 parts, then write the fraction you shaded.

Fractions of a set

Count all the objects to find the denominator. Count the objects in the named group to find the numerator.

6.A box contains 10 buttons: 6 are yellow and 4 are green. What fraction of the buttons are green?
7.There are 12 shells in a collection. Five are striped and the rest are plain. What fraction of the shells are striped?
8.A bag has 9 toy bricks. Two are blue and 7 are red. What fraction of the bricks are blue?

10.Which is greater, 1/3 or 1/4, if both fractions refer to equal-sized whole cakes? Explain why.
