To solve this worksheet, we need to color the correct number of parts in each circle based on the fraction given.
A fraction has two numbers:
- The
bottom number (denominator) tells us how many equal parts the whole circle is divided into.
- The
top number (numerator) tells us how many of those parts to color.
Let’s go row by row:
---
Row 1:
- Left circle: Divided into 2 parts → color
1 part → that’s
1/2
- Right circle: Divided into 2 parts → color
2 parts → that’s
2/2 (which means the whole circle)
✔ So:
→ First circle: Color 1 out of 2 slices
→ Second circle: Color both slices (whole circle)
---
Row 2:
- Left circle: Divided into 3 parts → color
1 part →
1/3
- Right circle: Divided into 3 parts → color
2 parts →
2/3
✔ So:
→ Third circle: Color 1 out of 3 slices
→ Fourth circle: Color 2 out of 3 slices
---
Row 3:
- Left circle: Divided into 4 parts → color
1 part →
1/4
- Right circle: Divided into 4 parts → color
2 parts →
2/4
✔ So:
→ Fifth circle: Color 1 out of 4 slices
→ Sixth circle: Color 2 out of 4 slices
---
Row 4:
- Left circle: Divided into 5 parts → color
1 part →
1/5
- Right circle: Divided into 5 parts → color
2 parts →
2/5
✔ So:
→ Seventh circle: Color 1 out of 5 slices
→ Eighth circle: Color 2 out of 5 slices
---
All fractions are already matched correctly with their circles — you just need to color the right number of sections.
Final Answer:
Color the circles as follows:
- 1/2 → color 1 of 2 parts
- 2/2 → color all 2 parts
- 1/3 → color 1 of 3 parts
- 2/3 → color 2 of 3 parts
- 1/4 → color 1 of 4 parts
- 2/4 → color 2 of 4 parts
- 1/5 → color 1 of 5 parts
- 2/5 → color 2 of 5 parts
