Set 1. Prints on its own sheet.
It practices distinguishing three partitions in one set — 5 questions for Grade 2, all on Common Core 2.G.A.3: Split shapes into halves, thirds and quarters. The instruction to students is “Write the shaded part in words”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.3 — 2.G.A.3, under Geometry for Grade 2. The published standard reads: “Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Halves, Thirds and Quarters is written for Grade 2, typically ages 7-8. It is one of the sheets on 2.G.A.3, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 5 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 versions, of which 22 ask genuinely different questions — this skill does not have 25 distinct questions to give, so the rest reorder them and no two students still share a paper. Set 1 downloads all 25 as one PDF.
Yes. Halves, Thirds and Quarters, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
