Cut and Paste Fractions

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is an interactive educational activity designed to help students learn about fractions through matching exercises. It features a selection of written fractions on the top half and a series of corresponding fraction models on the bottom half. Students are instructed to cut out the fraction models and paste them beside the correct written fractions, making it a hands-on task. Each fraction model is visually represented by a differently shaped diagram, divided and shaded to illustrate the fraction it represents.

The purpose of this worksheet is to reinforce the students’ ability to recognize and understand fractions in both numerical and visual forms. By matching the fraction models to their corresponding numerical expressions, students are able to see the direct correlation between the abstract concept of fractions and their concrete graphical representations. This exercise enhances their comprehension of how fractions signify parts of a whole and helps them to develop skills in identifying equivalences between different representations of fractions. Moreover, the cut-and-paste activity is designed to make the learning process more engaging and tactile, which can be particularly beneficial for young learners.
