To solve this worksheet, we need to color the correct number of parts for each shape based on the fraction given.
Here is how to do it step-by-step:
1.
Look at the bottom number (denominator): This tells you how many equal parts the whole shape is divided into. Count the parts in the shape to make sure they match.
2.
Look at the top number (numerator): This tells you how many of those parts you need to color in.
Let's go through each problem:
*
Circle (top left): The fraction is
3/4. The circle is cut into 4 pieces. You need to color
3 of them.
*
Square (top right): The fraction is
3/4. The square is cut into 4 small squares. You need to color
3 of them.
*
Hexagon (second row left): The fraction is
5/6. The hexagon is cut into 6 triangles. You need to color
5 of them.
*
Circle (second row right): The fraction is
7/8. The circle is cut into 8 slices. You need to color
7 of them.
*
Square with X (third row left): The fraction is
2/4. The square is cut into 4 triangles. You need to color
2 of them.
*
Circle (third row right): The fraction is
2/3. The circle is cut into 3 slices. You need to color
2 of them.
*
Rectangle strip (bottom left): The fraction is
1/4. The rectangle is cut into 4 blocks. You need to color
1 of them.
*
Pentagon (bottom right): The fraction is
2/5. The pentagon is cut into 5 triangles. You need to color
2 of them.
Final Answer:

-
Circle: Color 3 out of 4 sections.
-
Square: Color 3 out of 4 sections.
-
Hexagon: Color 5 out of 6 sections.
-
Circle: Color 7 out of 8 sections.

Square (divided by diagonals): Color 2 out of 4 sections.
-
Circle: Color 2 out of 3 sections.
-
Rectangle: Color 1 out of 4 sections.
-
Pentagon: Color 2 out of 5 sections.
