About this worksheet
Six shapes, bars, circles and a hexagon, each shaded in a bright color. Beside each one are four fractions, and the child checks the box next to the one that names the shaded part.
The wrong choices are the mistakes third graders actually make. One of them is often the right fraction turned upside down, like four thirds instead of three fourths, and another usually counts the unshaded parts instead. That makes this a useful sheet for finding out how a child is thinking: checking the flipped fraction means the top and bottom numbers have not settled yet, which is worth fixing before moving on.
It is printed in color and works well as a quick check at the start of a fractions unit.
