2. In a SATs Paper B you might be asked to work out what
fraction of a grid is shaded:

3. For example: Here is a grid of tiles. What fractions of the tiles
are shaded blue?
Firstly count up the number of tiles on the grid.
There are 30.

4. For example: Here is a grid of tiles. What fractions of the tiles
are shaded blue?
Firstly count up the number of tiles on the grid.
e are 30.

5. For example: Here is a grid of tiles. What fractions of the tiles
are shaded blue?
Firstly count up the number of tiles on the grid.
There are 24
are 30.

6. For example: Here is a grid of tiles. What fractions of the tiles
are shaded blue?
Firstly count up the number of tiles on the grid.
There are 24
This becomes the denominator of the fraction

7. For example: Here is a grid of tiles. What fractions of the tiles
are shaded blue?
