Matching a Diagram to a Fraction Equation Worksheet Download
This worksheet shows a fraction equation and four diagrams made of counters in boxes. The correct diagram has the same number of counters in each box with the same number shaded. The wrong diagrams shade a different number, use a different number of counters, or read the numerator and denominator as two separate counts - so one box holds three counters and the other holds eight. It builds the set model of a fraction alongside the more common area and length models.
