Twelve shapes split into halves up to twelfths, with some parts already shaded grey. Children count all the parts and write that number on the bottom, then count the shaded parts and write that number on top. The shaded parts are not always next to each other, so children have to count every one. Denominators go up to 12, which makes it a good bridge from second grade into third.
