Let's solve each question one by one and determine the correct fraction represented by the colored area in each shape.
---
1. First Shape: Circle
- The circle is divided into
4 equal parts.
-
1 part is shaded (orange).
- So, the fraction is:
$$
\frac{1}{4}
$$
✔ Correct answer: $\frac{1}{4}$
---
2. Second Shape: Hexagon
- The hexagon is divided into
3 equal parts (each part looks like a rectangle or rhombus).
-
2 parts are shaded (green).
- So, the fraction is:
$$
\frac{2}{3}
$$
✔ Correct answer: $\frac{2}{3}$
> Note: Even though it’s a hexagon, it’s split into 3 equal regions, not 6. So we count the number of shaded regions over total regions.
---
3. Third Shape: Triangle
- The triangle is divided into
3 equal smaller triangles.
-
1 part is shaded (yellow).
- So, the fraction is:
$$
\frac{1}{3}
$$
✔ Correct answer: $\frac{1}{3}$
---
4. Fourth Shape: Square with 8 Triangles
- The square is divided into
8 equal triangular parts (like a pinwheel pattern).
- Count the shaded parts:
- There are
5 pink triangles shaded.
- So, the fraction is:
$$
\frac{5}{8}
$$
✔ Correct answer: $\frac{5}{8}$
---
5. Fifth Shape: Trapezoid made of 3 Triangles
- The trapezoid is made up of
3 equal triangles.
-
2 triangles are shaded (blue).
- So, the fraction is:
$$
\frac{2}{3}
$$
✔ Correct answer: $\frac{2}{3}$
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. $\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}$
2. $\boxed{\frac{2}{3}}$
3. $\boxed{\frac{1}{3}}$
4. $\boxed{\frac{5}{8}}$
5. $\boxed{\frac{2}{3}}$
You should tick these options accordingly on the worksheet.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of fraction sheets for first grade.
