Finding Three Quarters - Worksheet

The "Finding Three Quarters" worksheet is an engaging resource designed to help students understand and calculate three quarters of various numbers and shapes. The worksheet includes a range of activities that encourage children to shade, circle, or colour three quarters of given shapes, quantities, and counters. For example, students are prompted to shade three quarters of a set of shapes and then complete sentences to reflect their understanding. They might see a sentence like "The whole is 8. Three quarters of 8 is 6," which helps them grasp the concept of fractions in a practical context.

Further exercises on the worksheet require students to fill in the blanks with the correct numbers after finding three quarters of given quantities, such as "Three quarters of 20 is 15." Real-world applications are also included, like determining the total number of cookies baked by Jody or cupcakes by Jeff when only three quarters are shown. Additionally, students are asked to identify errors in calculations, such as Ben's mistake when finding three quarters of a number of cars. The worksheet also challenges students to apply their knowledge to scenarios like Pam's football match duration and Jed's hockey match, helping them understand the practical implications of calculating fractions. The answers are provided to facilitate self-correction and ensure a solid understanding of finding three quarters.
