Tiffin School Fraction of a Shape (Section 2)

In this video, Singapore Maths Academy tackles a fraction of a shape question from Section 2 of a Tiffin School 11+ maths paper. This type of visual reasoning question tests a student’s ability to break down composite shapes and identify what fraction is shaded, used, or left over.

We guide students through how to divide shapes into equal parts, interpret diagrams accurately, and calculate fractions with confidence — even when the shapes aren’t standard or aligned neatly. These problems combine geometry, fractions, and logical deduction, making them ideal for selective school entrance exams like Tiffin’s.

If your child is preparing for the Tiffin School 11+ exam, this video provides a great example of the kind of careful, structured thinking that’s rewarded in Section 2 of the paper.
