Practise identifying fractions worksheets with shaded circles and bars — kids read each shape and write the fraction below it. Every sheet prints with a matching answer key. Mixed circles and bars with denominators up to tenths — read the picture and write the fraction. Free, no signup.
Opens the builder set to identifying fractions (up to tenths) · 8 shapes per sheet · free, no signup.
Once halves and quarters are easy, mix circles and bars together and push the denominators up to sixths, eighths and tenths. The skill is the same — count the equal parts for the bottom number, count the shaded ones for the top — but the numbers get larger and the parts smaller.
Quick way to teach it: Encourage careful counting: with more parts it's easy to miss one. Have the child lightly tick each part as they count. Mixing circles and bars on one sheet stops them from guessing by shape and forces them to actually read the fraction.

Mixing circles and bars on one sheet stops them from guessing by shape and forces them to actually read the fraction. Print a fresh sheet, name a few shapes together each day, and check with the answer key — short, regular practice beats one long session.
This is usually taught in Grade 3 & Grade 4. Once halves and quarters are easy, mix circles and bars together and push the denominators up to sixths, eighths and tenths. The skill is the same — count the equal parts for the bottom number, count the shaded ones for the top — but the numbers get larger and the parts smaller.
The bottom number — the denominator — is how many equal parts the whole is divided into. The top number — the numerator — is how many of those parts are shaded or counted. So 3/4 means three of four equal parts. The parts must be equal in size for it to be a fraction.
