To solve this worksheet, we need to color in 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 sections 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 one:
*
Circle (top left): The fraction is
2/3. The circle has 3 parts. Color in
2 of them.
*
Triangle (second down, left): The fraction is
1/2. The triangle has 2 parts. Color in
1 of them.
*
Square (third down, left): The fraction is
1/4. The square has 4 parts. Color in
1 of them.
*
Pentagon (fourth down, left): The fraction is
1/5. The pentagon has 5 parts. Color in
1 of them.
*
Rectangle (bottom left): The fraction is
2/4. The rectangle has 4 parts. Color in
2 of them.
*
Circle (top right): The fraction is
1/6. The circle has 6 parts. Color in
1 of them.
*
Octagon/Circle with 8 slices (second down, right): The fraction is
1/8. The shape has 8 parts. Color in
1 of them.
*
Diamond/Rhombus (third down, right): The fraction is
1/2. The diamond has 2 parts. Color in
1 of them.
*
Triangle (fourth down, right): The fraction is
1/3. The triangle has 3 parts. Color in
1 of them.
*
Circle (bottom right): The fraction is
3/4. The circle has 4 parts. Color in
3 of them.
Final Answer:
Color the shapes as follows:
-
Top Left Circle: Color 2 out of 3 sections.
-
Left Triangle: Color 1 out of 2 sections.
-
Left Square: Color 1 out of 4 sections.
-
Left Pentagon: Color 1 out of 5 sections.
-
Bottom Left Rectangle: Color 2 out of 4 sections.
-
Top Right Circle: Color 1 out of 6 sections.
-
Right Octagon: Color 1 out of 8 sections.
-
Right Diamond: Color 1 out of 2 sections.
-
Right Triangle: Color 1 out of 3 sections.
-
Bottom Right Circle: Color 3 out of 4 sections.
