This fractions worksheet is designed to reinforce the concept that fractions are shapes or objects divided into equal parts or pieces. Students are first asked what each part of a divided shape is equal to. Then they have to make a fraction based on the shaded area. Next students are presented with shapes that are divided into 1/5 and have to decide whether or not the shape was evenly divided. Finally, they are given 2-word problems designed to make a student think about what each part of a divided shape or object actually means. You can purchase this as a Google doc on Teachers Pay Teachers for $0.50, which will allow you to change the names of the students on the word problems to the names of your own students. This of course makes it more relevant and entertaining. The names are italicized and in bold font. Here is the purchase link.
