Convert Semicircle Diagram to Fraction: Visual Math Practice

The numerator (top number) always represents the shaded or colored parts. Count these first - in this semicircle, only 1 part is shaded.

The same rule applies! Count total parts for denominator and shaded parts for numerator. You might get fractions like $\frac{3}{4}$ or $\frac{5}{6}$.

The vertical line divides the semicircle into 2 equal halves. One half is shaded (red), one half is unshaded (white), giving us 2 total parts.

Yes! If more parts are shaded than unshaded, you get improper fractions like $\frac{3}{2}$. But in this problem, only half is shaded, so we get $\frac{1}{2}$.

Visual check: Does your fraction make sense? $\frac{1}{2}$ means half is shaded - look at the diagram and confirm exactly half the circle is red!
