Questions parents & teachers ask

What order should kids learn fractions in?

Start with halves, thirds and quarters of a single shape, so "equal parts" sinks in. Move to fraction circles (like pizza slices), then fraction bars, which line fractions up for comparing. Finally mix circles and bars and push the denominators up to sixths, eighths and tenths. Each worksheet above sets exactly one of those stages.

What do the top and bottom numbers mean?

The bottom number, the denominator, is how many equal parts the whole is split into. The top number, the numerator, is how many of those parts are shaded. So a shape in 8 equal parts with 5 shaded is 5/8. The parts must be equal in size โ€” that's what makes it a fraction.

What grade are fractions taught in?

Fractions of shapes (halves, thirds, quarters) start in Grade 1โ€“2; naming fractions from circles and bars is Grade 2โ€“3; identifying fractions up to tenths is Grade 3โ€“4. Pick the page that matches where your child is.
