Fractions - Count in fractions - Worksheet

The worksheet titled 'Count in fractions' is designed to help students develop fluency and precision in understanding fractions. The task requires students to shade in specific fractions on a series of circles. Each set of instructions provides a different fraction to be shaded on each circle. For instance, in the first part, students are asked to shade in halves (1/2) across twelve different circles. The activity is repeated with different fractions such as thirds (1/3) and quarters (1/4), with each fraction represented on a separate set of twelve circles.

Upon completing the shading activity for each set of fractions, students are prompted to observe and reflect on the number of circles. This exercise not only reinforces their ability to count in fractions but also encourages them to notice patterns and relationships between the fractions and the total number of circles. By engaging with this task, students practice partitioning shapes into equal parts and gain a deeper understanding of how fractions represent portions of a whole. The worksheet is part of a series that aims to build foundational skills in working with fractions through practical and visual methods.
