Let’s Label Unit Fractions!

This set of worksheets has been designed by a teacher to allow for students to practise identifying different unit fractions. Each worksheet involves identifying and correctly naming the fraction based on its visual representation. Here are the steps your students will go through during each question on these two worksheets.

Identify the total number of equal parts in the visual representation. This determines the denominator of the unit fraction.
Determine how many of those parts are shaded. This corresponds to the numerator of the unit fraction.
Once they know the numerator and denominator, write the unit fraction using the shaded portion as the numerator and the total number of parts as the denominator.

Ways to Use These Unit Fraction Worksheets in the Classroom

These worksheets offer a versatile resource for assessing student comprehension of unit fractions. Teachers can use them for quick formative assessments, as part of guided practice sessions, or even as homework assignments to reinforce classroom learning. Furthermore, the clear and straightforward format of the worksheets makes them accessible for students at different skill levels, allowing for easy differentiation in the classroom.
