Boost your classroom engagement with our fantastic free Maths fractions colouring page year 1 core resource.

By combining art with numeracy, pupils can explore shape and portioning while developing their fine motor skills.
Our Maths fractions colouring page year 1 core resource focuses on the UK National Curriculum objective of recognising, finding, and naming a half as one of two equal parts, and a quarter as one of four equal parts of an object, shape, or quantity. Using our original character Max the monkey, who loves solving maths puzzles, children are tasked with colouring specific segments of shapes to reveal fractions. This visual approach ensures that learners at the expected standard can confidently identify equal parts before moving on to more complex calculations.
Teachers can use this Maths fractions colouring page year 1 core sheet as a starter activity, a focused independent task, or even as a calming home-learning exercise. Because it is differentiated for the core level, it provides the perfect balance of challenge and support for Year 1 pupils.
The resource includes seven engaging questions:
1. Colour one half of the large square. Is it the same as the other half?
2. Max has a circle. Can you divide it into four equal parts and colour one quarter?
3. If you colour two quarters of a shape, how many halves have you coloured?
4. Circle the shapes that are split into equal parts.
5. Max has £1. If he shares it into two equal parts, how much is one half?
6. Colour three quarters of the triangle pattern.
7. Explain to a partner why parts must be equal to be called a fraction.
