TheSchoolRun.com closure date

As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.

As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.

In particular, we suggest downloading:

You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.

We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Shading and naming fractions of shapes

Shading and naming fractions of shapes activity
In this Year 3 fractions worksheet, your child is asked to identify and colour in different fractions of shapes.
Keystage:  KS2, Year 3

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.

How will this fractions worksheet help my Year 3 child?

This Year 3 fractions worksheet helps your child to understand fractions of a shape, using visual learning in this teacher-created activity. Your child will be presented with different shapes, already 'cut' into sections and asked to shade in the correct fraction of the shape. It is important for your child to already be familiar with fractions and know, for instance, what a quarter is. TheSchoolRun.com has plenty of helpful information about fractions
