Students identify fractions of shaded groups and recognize whole and zero fractions. Part A corrects three sentences about writing fractions from shaded groups, what 3/3 means, and what 1/4 represents. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank problems about 3 out of 8 red balloons, 5/6 shaded parts, and what 4/4 equals. Part C has three true-or-false statements about 0/5, whether fractions must be less than 1, and 6/6.
Connecting fractions to shaded diagrams makes the numerator-denominator relationship visual and concrete.

Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
If 2 out of 6 stars are shaded, the fraction is 62.
Rewrite: If 2 out of 6 stars are shaded, the fraction is 26.
2. Fix the sentence:
33 of a circle means none of it is shaded.
Rewrite: 33 of a circle means all of it is shaded.
3. Fix the sentence:
The fraction 14 means 1 whole divided into 3 parts.
Rewrite: The fraction 14 means 1 whole divided into 4 parts.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. If 3 out of 8 balloons are red, the fraction of red balloons is 38.
2. A shape split into 6 equal parts with 5 shaded shows 56.
3. The fraction 44 equals 1 whole.
4. In the fraction 710, the denominator is 10.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. 05 equals zero because no parts are shaded.
True False
2. A fraction always represents less than 1 whole.
True False
3. 66 equals one whole.
