This printable square fraction grid resource is a versatile, visual tool that will support your primary students in mastering fractions through hands-on learning.
The squares are divided in various ways – from halves and quarters to hundredths. This will help children see fractions clearly and understand how each part relates to a whole.
Each printable square fraction grid represents fractions in different layouts. For instance, the halves are shown horizontally and diagonally. This helps students see that there’s more than one way to divide a shape equally.
From basic divisions like quarters to more complex breakdowns such as twentieths, twenty-fifths, fiftieths, and hundredths, they allow for visual exploration of equivalences, comparisons and relationships between fractions.
Fraction grid templates
These resources are ideal for KS1 and KS2 classrooms. You can use the fraction grid templates in various activities, whether it’s introducing fractions for the first time, reinforcing understanding or applying knowledge to new challenges.
By using these visual representations, students can practice partitioning shapes and recognising patterns. This deepens their comprehension of fractions beyond numbers on a page.
They’re perfect for working walls, individual student activities or small-group work where students can colour, label or manipulate the grids to represent different fractions and their equivalents.
Teachers can use these grids to explore mathematical concepts such as equivalent fractions, fraction addition and comparing fractions.
With clear divisions and structured layouts, these fraction grids make fractions feel more manageable and intuitive.
