On this sheet
A box has 16 crayons and 7/8 of them are blue. How many crayons are not blue? Rosa ate 1/12 of a pizza and Sam ate 3/12 of the same pizza. What fraction of the pizza did they eat in all? Ruby read 1/5 of a book on Monday. What fraction of the book is left to read? Finn practiced the piano for 2/3 of an hour. How many minutes is that? A cookie recipe uses 1/2 cup of oats. Maya makes 4 batches.
Tips for using it
- Underline the question and circle the numbers before solving.
- Draw a quick picture of each story before writing the number sentence.
- Shade the parts lightly with a colored pencil to see each fraction.
- 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.
