Grade 2 Math Worksheet - Building Confidence
Circle how many equal parts: halves, thirds, or fourths.
Fractions start with equal shares. A shape split into two equal parts shows halves, into three equal parts shows thirds, and into four equal parts shows fourths, which are also called quarters. What matters is that the parts are equal in size: two unequal pieces are not halves. This worksheet shows six shapes, each cut into equal parts with some of the parts shaded, and your child circles whether the parts are halves, thirds or fourths.
The shaded parts are only there to look at, since the name comes from the number of equal parts in the whole shape. Ask your child to count all the parts, shaded or not, before choosing a word, and to say why a shape with unequal pieces would not show halves, thirds or fourths at all.
Common Core standard: 2.G.A.3
