About these fractions worksheets

Fractions start with pictures. Each shape (a circle, a bar or a rectangle) is split into equal parts with some shaded, and children write the fraction shaded. The denominator is the number of equal parts; the numerator is how many are shaded.

Start with halves, thirds and quarters, then move to tenths and twelfths.

Settings you can change

Each sheet has 12 questions by default (from 4 to 24), a name, date and score line, and an answer key on a separate page. Best for grades 1–4 (ages 6–10).

  • Denominators: Halves, thirds, quarters, Up to tenths, Up to twelfths.
  • Shapes: Circles and bars, Circles, Bars.

Teaching tips

  • Count all the parts first (the denominator), then the shaded ones.
  • Stress that parts must be equal.
  • Fold paper strips to make real fractions.

New questions every time

The questions are written by rules on your device, not picked from a fixed sheet, so every tap of “New worksheet” gives a different set. Nothing is uploaded. Explore all math worksheets.
