About this worksheet

Tips for using it
- Fold a strip of paper into equal parts to check a tricky one.
- Before naming a fraction, have the child count all the parts and write the denominator first, then count the shaded parts for the numerator; most errors come from doing it the other way.
- On the number line sheet, count the gaps between 0 and 1, not the tick marks; seven ticks make eight gaps, so the dot is in eighths.
- To compare fractions with the same numerator, remind kids that more pieces means smaller pieces: 1/6 is less than 1/4.
