Strategies
Shade 1 out of these 4Shade 1 out of these 4
This could be done in a number of ways, such as:

StrategiesHow might you shade ½ of this regular pentagon, which has been split into unequal parts?

Finding a simple fraction of a single item

Consider though not only shading 1 out of every 4 circles, such as:
Strategies
Splitting into convenient groups of 4
Shading 1 then counting and leaving 2,3 and 4 un-shaded.
But also...

Strategies
• Consider shading 1 out of the 4 rows:

StrategiesStrategy 3Consider another visual approach:Split a plate into 3 equal parts
![Page 13: Scottish Survey of Literacy & Numeracy Support Material First Level – Fractions](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815c37550346895dca261d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
StrategiesSplit 66 equally among the 3 sections.Pupils can ‘chunk’ 66 to do this.
Start by putting 10 onto each section.
This only gets us to 30, so repeat this:
We’re now at 60, so we have 6 left to split among the sections, so 2 goes onto each section
