Fractions of Shapes and Sets

Students will practice fractions of shapes and sets in this interactive math activity geared toward fifth grade. Questions in this math lesson are presented in a variety of formats, including drag-and-drop, multiple choice, and fill-in-the-blank. Upon completion of this online math game, students will have gained confidence and proficiency in identifying fractions of shapes and fractions of sets.

Your students will solve math problems featuring a diverse array of fractional shapes and sets. Here are some sample questions your students may be asked in this math lesson: "What fraction of the shapes are pentagons?"; "What fraction of the shape is shaded?"; and "What fraction of the cupcakes have sprinkles?" Whether students are shown a set of objects or a shape divided into fractional pieces, they will have ample opportunity in this math lesson to practice identifying fractions.

If students need a little extra help answering a math question in this I Know It lesson, several features are available for their reference. Students can click on the "Hint" button, and they will be shown a relevant written or pictorial clue that will help them solve the given math problem. They can also click the speaker icon to have the question read out loud to them in a clear voice. (This is a great option for ESL/ELL students and students who excel at auditory learning.) In addition, a progress-tracker helps children keep track of how many questions they have answered out of the total number of questions in the lesson. A score-tracker lets children see how many questions they have answered correctly so far.

When students answer a question incorrectly, a detailed explanation page will pop up on their practice screen to show them the correct answer, including step-by-step instructions for obtaining the correct response. Children can move through the lesson having learned from past mistakes.
