Writing Fractions: Parts of a Set

Learn to interpret fraction models with this colorful activity! In this worksheet, students are presented with 10 different fraction models. Learners must determine the fraction of shapes that are shaded in each model. These sets include denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Working with parts of a whole can be tricky, but writing fractions based on models can help third graders understand what fractions represent. As students build their understanding of fractions, they can begin to add and subtract fractions, work with like and unlike denominators, and interpret improper fractions.
