Practise specific Fractions skills
What Your Child Will Learn
In Grade 2, fractions extend to thirds, fifths, and other simple parts. Students learn to name fractions using the words (one third, two fourths) and begin understanding that fractions describe parts of a whole or parts of a set.
Students compare simple fractions using visual models — which is larger, one half or one third? They also explore the idea that two halves, three thirds, or four fourths make a whole. Concrete materials like fraction circles and pattern blocks are essential tools.
Skills Covered
- Naming fractions: halves, thirds, fourths, fifths
- Comparing unit fractions using visual models
- Understanding fractions of a set (e.g., 1/3 of 12)
- Recognizing equivalent wholes (2/2, 3/3, 4/4 = 1)
- Partitioning shapes into equal parts up to fifths
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): developing an understanding of fractions as parts of a whole and parts of a set.
Parent Tip: Use visual fraction tools — fraction circles, fraction strips, or even coloured paper — so your child can see and touch the fractions they're learning about.
What your child will practice
- Unit FractionsUse drawings to represent, compare, and order unit fractions representing the individual portions that result from sharing.

Check my workFrequently Asked Questions
Why do students struggle with fractions?
Fractions require understanding parts of a whole, which is more abstract than counting. Using visual models like fraction bars and number lines helps build intuition.
How can I help my child with fractions at home?
Use real-life examples: cooking (measuring cups), pizza slices, and sharing equally. These concrete experiences make fractions meaningful.
What fraction skills should my child know by grade level?
Grade 3: identifying and comparing simple fractions. Grade 4: equivalent fractions and adding with like denominators. Grade 5-6: all four operations with fractions and mixed numbers.
