What your child will practise

  • Name the fraction shaded in a shape, as shaded parts over equal parts
  • Recognise that equal parts are needed for a fraction
  • Shade a given fraction of a shape

Tip for parents and teachers

Ask your child to count the equal parts first (the bottom number), then the shaded ones (the top number). Fold a paper circle or a strip into equal parts and colour them to make the fraction real.
