Understanding Visual Fractions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Using fractions as their artistic guide, learners color in parts of five shape images. Each image is segmented based on the denominator, so scholars simply need to apply the numerator to know how much to color. None of these are mixed fractions. Next, they answer two fraction word problems (question three has a grammar issue) and then draw shapes based on fractions given. This last part ties into the first set of problems.
