Partitioning Shapes into Equal Areas — Easy Worksheet 1
Grade 3 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Look at how each shape is split, then answer the question.
How to solve
When a shape is split into equal parts, every part has the same area. If there are 4 equal parts, each part is 14 of the whole area. Parts are only "equal" if they are the same size.
Example
The shape is split into equal parts. What fraction of the whole area is the shaded part?
Answer: 13
Not quite. The answer is
💡 Count the equal parts: there are 3. One of them is shaded, so the shaded part is 13 of the whole area.
✓ Correct!
