The BEST Introduction to Fractions Worksheets
Hey there, teacher! Looking for the BEST introduction to fractions worksheet?
I’m talking about concepts like identifying fractions, numerators, and denominators.
You gotta master those basics in order to get into all those other fraction concepts (and my goodness… there are so many! Fractions is always such a crazy and jam-packed unit).
I created a set of color-by-number worksheets for introduction to fractions to help make practicing this concept a bit more fun for students.
Because let’s be honest…. coloring makes everything about 100 times more fun

How do students complete these introduction to fractions worksheets?
First, students will answer a variety of fraction questions.
The questions include:
- 1 worksheet identifying the numerator in a fraction
- 1 worksheet identifying the denominator in a fraction
- 2 worksheets identifying the grey-shaded fraction in a model
- 1 worksheet identifying the grey-shaded fraction in a fraction model
As you can see, these questions cover all the basics of fractions when you are starting the unit!
Next, students will look at their answers for each question.
Depending on what answer they circled, they color their picture a specific color.
At the end of the worksheet, students will have a fully colored picture!
What makes these fractions worksheets so great?
