EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

This worksheet helps students name fractions shown by fraction models in both symbols and words. Students are given a fraction model and are tasked with writing the fraction in its symbolic and verbal form. Designed for students in year 3 and year 4.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognise and name fractions from visual models, such as fraction circles and fraction bars.
  • Express fractions in both symbols and words.
  • Develop an understanding of how fractions can be represented visually, symbolically, and in words.

How the Activity Works:

In this activity, students are presented with fraction circles and fraction bars depicting different fractions. They are asked to identify the fraction shown and write it in both symbolic form (e.g., 3/4) and in words (e.g., three-fourths). This activity helps students make connections between fraction models and their corresponding symbols and words. By practising this skill, students strengthen their understanding of how fractions can represent parts of a whole and enhance their ability to recognise and name fractions in various forms.
