Find One Third of objects

Learning to find a fraction of a set of objects is a fundamental mathematical skill taught in primary education. In this particular activity, students are tasked with finding one third of a given collection of objects, such as symbols or shapes. The exercise includes a variety of visual representations, including rows of symbols and groups of different items, to help students visually partition the sets into thirds. This practical approach enables learners to grasp the concept of dividing a whole into equal parts, specifically focusing on the fraction one third.

These activities are taken from the "CanDo Fractions" series by Buzzard Publishing, which is designed to provide a hands-on experience with fractions. The worksheets contain clear instructions and are adorned with a range of symbols and characters to engage students. As they work through the exercises, students are encouraged to count the total number of objects and then divide by three to find one third. This method aids in developing their understanding of fractions as well as their counting and division skills. The resource is tailored to support children in building their confidence with fractions in a fun and interactive way.
