Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Using visual models, represent the fraction 1/2 on a grid. Then, shade the same amount to show an equivalent fraction.
[2 marks]
2.
Construct two rectangles divided into equal parts to visually show that 3/4 is equivalent to 6/8. Label each rectangle accordingly.
[3 marks]
3.
A circle is divided into 12 equal sectors. Shade 4 sectors to represent 1/3. Then, shade an equivalent number of sectors to demonstrate 2/6.
[2 marks]
4.
Plot the graph of y=2x for x values from 0 to 5. Use the grid to draw the line accurately.
[3 marks]
5.
Construct a triangle with sides 3cm, 4cm, and 5cm on the grid. Label the sides and verify the triangle is a right triangle.
[3 marks]
6.
Identify the common mistake in shading to represent 2/3 and 4/6 in two different diagrams. Explain and correct it.
[3 marks]
7.
A baker divides a cake into 8 slices. Shade 3 slices to show 3/8. Then, draw an equivalent fraction using visual shading for 6/16.
[2 marks]
8.
Use visual models to solve: If 5/10 is equivalent to some fraction, what is it? Show your reasoning.
[3 marks]
9.
A rectangle divided into 10 equal parts has 4 parts shaded. Which fractions are equivalent to this shading? Use visual models to justify your answer.
[3 marks]
10.
A visual model shows 3/4 shaded. Extend this model to illustrate a larger equivalent fraction with denominator 12. Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]
11.
