• fifths
• sixths

The different visual representations include number lines, collections of objects, and shaded shapes.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding  

In addition to individual student work time, use this worksheet as a:

• Guided math group
• Lesson warm-up
• Lesson wrap-up
• Fast finishers 
• Homework assignment
• Whole-class review (via smartboard)

Extend students by tasking them with creating additional representations for each fraction. For example, if the representation of the fraction is a shaded shape, the students will create a number line or collection of objects to represent the fraction.
