When just given numbers, adding fractions can be difficult for some students to comprehend. ‘Adding Fractions by Colouring’ is a resource where students shade in two fractions, add the segments together and then write down what fraction is shaded in the resultant fraction. It is ideal for KS2 and low ability KS3 students.
This resource contains two worksheets…
Worksheet 1 - Adding fractions with the same denominator
Worksheet 2 - Adding fractions with different denominators (students take 1/2 to mean colour in 1 out of every 2 parts)
This is an excellent resource for visual learners and for students to gain an understanding for why we add the numerators but keep the denominators the same.
