You're given a worksheet titled
“Numerator and denominator” that asks you to
read the given numerator and denominator, shade the correct number of parts in each shape, and then write the fraction.
Let’s go through each shape one by one and solve it step-by-step.
---
🔹 Shape 1 (Already Solved — Example)
-
Given: Numerator = 3, Denominator = 4
- Shape: A square divided into 4 equal parts → Shade 3 parts.
- Fraction written:
3/4
✔ This is correct. The shaded fraction is
3/4.
---
🔹 Shape 2: Circle divided into 5 equal parts
-
Given: Numerator = 3, Denominator = 5
- So, we need to shade
3 out of 5 parts.
-
Fraction:
3/5
🟩
Answer: Write
3/5 in the box.
---
🔹 Shape 3: Star-like shape with 6 equal triangles
-
Given: Numerator = 4, Denominator = 6
- Shade
4 out of 6 parts.
-
Fraction:
4/6
🟩
Answer: Write
4/6 in the box.
*(Note: You could simplify 4/6 to 2/3, but since the problem gives numerator and denominator explicitly, you should write it as 4/6 unless asked to simplify.)*
---
🔹 Shape 4: Hexagon divided into 6 equal triangles
-
Given: Numerator = 5, Denominator = 6
- Shade
5 out of 6 parts.
-
Fraction:
5/6
🟩
Answer: Write
5/6 in the box.
---
🔹 Shape 5: Circle divided into 10 equal slices
-
Given: Numerator = 4, Denominator = 10
- Shade
4 out of 10 parts.
-
Fraction:
4/10
🟩
Answer: Write
4/10 in the box.
*(Again, simplifying to 2/5 is mathematically correct, but follow instructions — they gave you 4 and 10, so write 4/10.)*
---
🔹 Shape 6: Square divided into 9 equal smaller squares (3x3 grid)
-
Given: Numerator = 4, Denominator = 9
- Shade
4 out of 9 parts.
-
Fraction:
4/9
🟩
Answer: Write
4/9 in the box.

## 📝 Summary:
You’re practicing how to represent fractions visually by shading parts of shapes based on given numerators (parts shaded) and denominators (total equal parts). Always remember:
>
Fraction = (Number of shaded parts) / (Total number of equal parts)
Keep the fraction exactly as given unless told to simplify.
Let me know if you’d like to see what the shaded shapes look like! 😊
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of worksheet numerator and denominator.
