Three fraction activities for Year 2 maths. Pupils colour shapes to show halves and quarters, work out fractions of amounts such as half of 8 and a quarter of 12, then complete equivalent fraction questions like 1/2 = ?/4. Answer key included. Written to the England National Curriculum fractions objectives for Year 2.
Number - fractions
“Recognise, find, name and write fractions 1/3, 1/4, 2/4 and 3/4 of a length, shape or quantity”

Number - fractions
“Write simple fractions, for example 1/2 of 6 = 3, and recognise the equivalence of 2/4 and 1/2”
The final section works the half and two-quarters equivalence directly.
Circles divided into halves and quarters for pupils to colour, including 3/4.
Questions such as half of 8 and a quarter of 12.
Missing numerators, such as 1/2 = ?/4.
Solutions for all three sections.
