Naming Fractions of Shapes — Easy Worksheet 1

Grade 3 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Write the fraction for each picture. Count the parts; do not simplify.

How to solve

A fraction names part of a whole. The bottom number (denominator) is how many equal parts the whole has. The top number (numerator) is how many of those parts are shaded. A circle cut into 8 equal slices with 3 slices shaded shows 38. For a set, count all the objects for the bottom number and the shaded ones for the top: 2 shaded stars out of 5 stars is 25. If the question asks what is NOT shaded, count the white parts instead.
