Making 1/2

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a series of visual fraction problems where students are shown various shapes that are partially shaded. The students are tasked with writing the fraction that corresponds to the shaded part of each shape. After determining the fraction for each shape, they are then asked to identify which of these are equivalent to one-half by ticking the appropriate boxes. This exercise combines the tasks of recognizing fractions visually in different shapes and understanding the concept of equivalence to a specific fraction, in this case, one-half.

The worksheet is aimed at teaching students to recognize and understand equivalent fractions in a visual and interactive manner. By comparing different shaded shapes to the fraction one-half, students are encouraged to think critically about what constitutes an equivalent fraction. This task helps to reinforce the idea that fractions can look different but still represent the same proportion of a whole. The worksheet serves as a practical exercise to deepen students’ understanding of fractions, equivalence, and how to translate visual representations into numerical fraction form.
