Fraction Wall
On your fraction wall, colour in . On your fraction wall, mark another with lines. How many sixths have been coloured in altogether?
Fraction Wall
On your fraction wall, colour in . On your fraction wall, mark another with lines. How many twelfths have been coloured in altogether?
Fraction Wall
On your fraction wall, colour in . On your fraction wall, mark another with lines. How many tenths have been coloured in altogether? On your fraction wall, mark another with dots.
Fraction Bars
How could this bar be used to show ? The bar needs to be split into 5 equal sections to represent fifths. 2 of the 5 sections need to be coloured in to represent the 2 fifths. Draw fraction bars to show each of these fractions:
Fraction Bars
Draw fraction bars to solve each of these calculations: Add so that your fraction bar shows + . so + = . Draw a fraction bar to represent .
