Matching a Fraction to a Shaded Grid Worksheet Download
Every denominator divides 100, so each fraction is an exact number of hundredths - two fifths is forty squares, one quarter is twenty-five. The three wrong grids are real misreadings of the same fraction rather than random amounts: the numerator shaded as hundredths, the numerator shaded as tenths, the complement, or one part where the numerator called for several. Every grid on a problem differs from the others by at least four squares, so the question is answered by working out the amount and not by spotting the odd one out. Sheet 1094 is the same skill with the student shading the grid instead of choosing it.
