Make a new sheet of fraction bars for counting and naming equal shares. Choose halves and fourths, add thirds, or practice writing fractions from shaded bars.
Pick the question count and paper size, then review the bars before printing or creating a PDF. Use the matching answer key to check the counts and fraction notation.
Ask the learner to point and count
If a bar has two shaded sections out of three equal sections, count all three sections first, then count the two shaded ones. One section is one third, and the shaded amount is \(\frac{2}{3}\).
Match the question to the response
In an early practice set, name one share and say how many shares are shaded. When writing a fraction, count the shaded parts for the numerator and all the parts for the denominator. Check that the denominator accounts for the entire bar, including any unshaded parts.
