I'll work through each shape systematically to find the fraction for the shaded area.

Let me go through them row by row:

Row 1:
1. Circle divided into 4 equal parts, 2 shaded → 2/4 = 1/2
2. Star divided into 5 equal parts, 2 shaded → 2/5
3. Rectangle divided into 3 equal horizontal parts, 1 shaded → 1/3
4. Hexagon divided into 4 equal parts, 1 shaded → 1/4

Row 2:
5. Rectangle divided into 8 equal squares (2×4 grid), 2 shaded → 2/8 = 1/4
6. Circle divided into 8 equal parts, 3 shaded → 3/8
7. Hexagon divided into 2 equal parts, 1 shaded → 1/2
8. Star divided into 5 equal parts, 3 shaded → 3/5

Row 3:
9. Rectangle divided into 8 equal vertical strips, 5 shaded → 5/8
10. Square divided into 4 equal parts, 1 shaded → 1/4
11. Circle divided into 3 equal parts, 2 shaded → 2/3
12. Rectangle divided into 3 equal horizontal parts, 2 shaded → 2/3

Let me double-check my work:
- Shape 1: ✓ 2 out of 4 parts = 2/4 or 1/2
- Shape 2: ✓ 2 out of 5 parts = 2/5
- Shape 3: ✓ 1 out of 3 parts = 1/3
- Shape 4: ✓ 1 out of 4 parts = 1/4
- Shape 5: ✓ 2 out of 8 parts = 2/8 or 1/4
- Shape 6: ✓ 3 out of 8 parts = 3/8
- Shape 7: ✓ 1 out of 2 parts = 1/2
- Shape 8: ✓ 3 out of 5 parts = 3/5
- Shape 9: ✓ 5 out of 8 parts = 5/8
- Shape 10: ✓ 1 out of 4 parts = 1/4
- Shape 11: ✓ 2 out of 3 parts = 2/3
- Shape 12: ✓ 2 out of 3 parts = 2/3

Final Answer:
Row 1: 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 1/4
Row 2: 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/5
Row 3: 5/8, 1/4, 2/3, 2/3
