Instructions
Welcome, future math wizard! A fraction is a way to show a part of a whole. The top number is the numerator (it tells us how many parts we have), and the bottom number is the denominator (it tells us how many parts the whole is divided into). Let's practice!
Part 1: Name the Parts
For each fraction, write the numerator and the denominator.
1. In the fraction 3/5, the numerator is and the denominator is .
2. In the fraction 7/10, the numerator is and the denominator is .
3. In the fraction 1/2, the numerator is and the denominator is .
Part 2: What Fraction Do You See?
Write the fraction that represents the shaded area for each shape.
Part 3: Shade the Fraction
Shade in the shapes to match the fraction given.
Part 4: Comparing Fractions
Use the symbols < (less than), > (greater than), or = (equal to) to compare the fractions.
Part 5: Word Problem Fun
Read the problem carefully and write your answer.
A chocolate bar is made of 12 equal squares. If you eat 5 of the squares, what fraction of the chocolate bar did you eat? What fraction is left?
