Shading and naming fractions of shapes
What are fractions of a shape?
Fractions of a shape involve dividing a geometric figure into equal parts and showing a specific portion of that shape. For example, if you have a circle cut into four equal sections and you colour in one of those sections, you're representing a fraction of the shape. In this case, the fraction is 1/4, indicating one part out of the four equal sections.
