💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used after an introductory lesson on fractions, specifically halves and quarters. It can be used as independent practice, a small group activity, or as a quick assessment. For students who are struggling, provide concrete manipulatives such as counters or cut-out shapes to help them visualise the fractions. Encourage them to physically divide the objects into equal groups. For students who grasp the concept quickly, challenge them to create their own fraction problems or to find examples of fractions in their everyday environment. A common mistake to watch for is students not understanding that fractions represent equal parts. Remind them to always check that the parts are the same size.
