Shade and Write the Fraction

Help students build a deeper understanding of fractions with this hands-on worksheet! In this foundational fraction worksheet, third graders will read the word form of a fraction, such as “one-half” or “three-fourths.” Then, students will shade in circle models to show the fraction visually. In the final step, they will write the corresponding numerical fraction.

By working with three different representations, students develop a more complete understanding of fractions. This worksheet supports fraction vocabulary development, number sense, and conceptual understanding while encouraging students to make meaningful connections across multiple representations of the same fraction.
